Intro: |Esus4|E |

Verse 1:
E                                     Bsus4          B
A voice like honey, no one else could fill his shoes
    E                                       Bsus4    B
The time and the weather, headlines and the local news
           C#m                      B(2)
He lays it down with perfection and grace
        E                         A
Done by noon, he goes home to his place
         E             B(2)               C#m B(2) E
Where he sleeps and he waits for the night

Verse 2:
E                                      Bsus4      B
Just before midnight he wakes up, gets out of bed
  E                              Bsus4          B
A can of Red Bull, a tab of X to clear his head
              C#m                    B(2)
He shoots his cuffs, now he's headed downtown
             E                      A
Picks up one life, puts another one down
        E                 D7
And his body hums and the music's playing

Chorus:
G               C   G    D
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
       Bm                 C    D
It's a cold world, nobody understands
       Em          A7           D7
It's a feeling you can't keep inside
G            C   G    D
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
        Bm                          C         D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
         Em         A7              D7
With the light of a truth you can't hide
         C           G             D          B7    E
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever

Verse 3 (verse 2 chords):
E                                        Bsus4       B
He shimmies his shoulders, undulates his slender hips
E                            Bsus4         B
Arms akimbo, Jaggeresque, he pouts his lips
            C#m                        B(2)
A crowd has formed, they are gathering round
        E                   A
Just to hear the incredible sound
     E               D7
Of a genius smashing expectations

Chorus:
G               C   G    D
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
       Bm                 C    D
It's a cold world, nobody understands
       Em          A7           D7
It's a feeling you can't keep inside
G            C   G    D
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
        Bm                          C         D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
         Em         A7              D7
With the light of a truth you can't hide
         C           G             D          B7    E
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on forever

Bridge:
E    B7                 G(2)
He's dancing, he's a machine
        D7sus2                     Bb
Like no one, that they've ever seen
        F7sus2             D B7 E
He's flying, he's living a dream

Verse 4 (verse 2 chords);
E                                         Bsus4       B         
The magic fades as the sun comes up, it's time he goes
E                                             Bsus4     B
A hand on his shoulder, he turns around: it's Teri Gross
             C#m                       B(2)
He takes her hand, spins her body just so
             E                          A
He holds her close, they will never let go
       E                   D7
As the room explodes, they dance like angels 

Chorus:
G               C   G    D
Dance, Soterios Johnson, dance
       Bm                 C    D
It's a cold world, nobody understands
       Em          A7           D7
It's a feeling you can't keep inside
G            C   G    D
Go, Soterios Johnson, go
        Bm                          C         D
All the club kids are watching your glowstick glow
         Em         A7              D7
With the light of a truth you can't hide
         C           G             D          
That the news is the news, but the dance goes on
    C           G             D
The news is the news, but the dance goes on
    C           G             D          B7    E
The news is the news, but the dance goes on forever
