Dm 
They hug in silence, 
F
As the sun sets. 
Am             Dm
On their empty street, 
F                           C        Bb
Their suspicions where they rise and hide.
F / Bb                                  C 
And then who sweeps them off she doesn't leave. 
Dm
She walks inside him, 
F
Pours a strong one. 
Am              Dm
Put her mind at ease. 
F                    C       Bb
It's the calm before another storm. 
F / Bb                                       C
And the friendship's from the whiskey to the keys. 


F
Take me to the place where the white boys dance. 
                                        Dm
Take me to the place where they run and play. 
Am                   G            
My baby is gone, you might have a chance. 
F                                                 Dm
Just take me to the place where the white boys... dance. 

Her heart is racing. 
She phones a friend to say: 
I'm in an awful place. 
That fool's been messin' round on me 
I've seen it in his eyes and on his face 
Hold on a minute. 
You're talking crazy. 
Don't be that jealous girl. 
Just telephone you need an hour or two. 
Cause we're gonna go and change somebodies word. 


F
Take me to the place where the white boys dance. 
                                        Dm
Take me to the place where they run and play. 
Am                   G            
My baby is gone, you might have a chance. 
F
Just take me to the place where the white boys dance. 

F                    C      Bb
It's the calm before another storm... 
It's the calm before another storm
F / Bb                                       C
And the friendship's from the whiskey to the keys.
