Intro.:  |(D)(G)|(Bm)(A)| x 2

(D) The summer air (G)was heavy and sweet, (Bm) you and I (A)on a crowded street
There was (D)music every-(G)where, (Bm) I can (A)see us there
(D) In a happy (G)little foreign town (Bm) where the stars are (A)upside down
(D) A half a (G)world away, (Bm) far (A) far away 

(Chorus)
(G) I remember, (A) you were laughing
(G)  We were so in love, (A) we were so in love
And the (Bm)band played, (G) (D)songs that we had (A)never heard 
But we (Bm)danced any-(G)way, we (D)never under-(A)stood the words 
We just (Bm)sang, "Oh, (G) la (D)la la la la (A) la la la"
(G) And we danced anyway

Inst.:  |(D)(G)|(Bm)(A)| x 2

(D) They say (G)you can't go back, (Bm) but, baby, I (A)don't believe that
(D)  Come (G)along with me, (Bm) come on and (A) dance with me
(D) Maybe (G)if I hold you close, (Bm) baby, (A)we could just let go
Of these (D)things that (G)tie us down, (Bm) we'll (A)come back around

(Chorus)
(G) You remember, (A) we were laughing
(G)  We were so in love, (A) so in love
And the (Bm)band played (G) (D)songs that we had (A)never heard
But we (Bm)danced any-(G)way, we (D)never under-(A)stood the words
We just (Bm)sang, "Oh, (G) la (D)la la la la (A) la la la"
(G) And we danced anyway
