Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(Between the Bm and D he hits a C# on the A string)

Backstage with the modern dancers

She was stretching her arms

configuring her body

 while they were breathing, they were shouting

she was concentrating on her breathing

 and didn't seem to mind

 as i sat there on the couch

and tuned my guitar

 and played a few chords

like roses growing their thorns

 getting ready to perform

with bare feet and painted faces

they took their places

 on shivering legs beneath colourful gowns

na na na na

na na na na

oooh ooooh

na na na na

ooooh oooh

and out there on the wooden floors

the sweat form their pores

 I'm writing a list

of songs I can sing by myself

backstage with the modern dancers

who feel it, like i feel it

like i feel it feel if feel it

backstage with the modern dancers

 getting ready to go on

she showed me her spin

with a beauty lit from within

and all of these things

i don't think they should be released
