[Verse 1]
N.C. B
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
N.C. B
Running a rat race won by our noses
N.C. B
Always put one foot in front of the other
N.C. B A5 G#5
And dance to the beat of the decadent drummer
[Pre-Chorus]
F# G#
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
E E5 D#5 C#5
Climbing to the top, ne - ver gonna stop
F# E B E
It's the same old song and one two three and dec - a - dance
[Chorus]

N.C. B
It's hard to stop once the music gets started
N.C. B
'til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
A5 G#5 A5 G#5 A5 G#5 A5 D5 B
Stepping in line with the sign of the ti - mer
