[Verse 1]
G
 They can come take it all away
G
 Break you heart by the light of day
Em                    C/G
 Drown your love in a distant bay
   G
So lonely
 
G
 See the ships heading for the rocks
G
 See the time melting off of the clocks
Em                        C/G
 There's a light shatters all the locks
    G
And saves me
   D
It saves me
 
[Chorus]
G
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
G
 On the night wind that takes me
             C/G
Just where I want
             Am
That's all I want
             G
La Vie Dansante
G
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
G
 On the night wind that takes you
               C/G
Just where you want
               Am
That's all you want
             G
La Vie Dansante
 
[Verse 2]
G
 Miss the beat if you close your eyes
G
 Every night wears a new disguise
Em                 C/G                G
 And I live when a new surprise surrenders
 
G
 Feed it all with a willing heart
G
 Every stop, is a place to start
Em                  C/G                G
 If you know how to play the part with feeling
            D
I play with feeling
 
[Chorus]
G
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
G
 On the night wind that takes me
             C/G
Just where I want
             Am
That's all I want
             G
La Vie Dansante
G
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
G
 On the night wind that takes you

Just where you want
               Am
That's all you want
