Verse 1

D          A             G        A
   Now the party's over,   I'm so tired
D         A               G        A
   Then I see you coming    out of nowhere
D          A           G       A
   Much communication     in a motion
D          A             G        A
   Without conversation      or a notion

Verse 2

D           A               G         A
   When the samba takes you    out of nowhere
D          A                    G        A
   And the background's fading    out of focus
D          A                   G       A
   Yes the picture's changing    every moment
D           A            G            A
   And your destination     you don't know it

Dancing, dancing

Verse 3

D           A            G            A
   When you bossa nova     there's no holding
D            A               G         A
   Would you have me dancing    out of nowhere
