[Verse 1]
N.C.
And as the earth returned to calmly dress itself in white
N.C.
We got a glimpse of all the people going out tonight
N.C.
Big guys and little guys, and bad guys in cuffs
N.C.
I bet they can't get enough
[Verse 2]
N.C.
Tonight I wanna be on Broadway and in cabaret
N.C.
Tonight I must go out and celebrate St. Patrick's Day
N.C.
Tonight I must demand a raise so I can grab, let's say
F#m Bm
Some part replacements with strawberry laces, no spaces
(strum pattern follows the lead guitar)
[Chorus]
A G# Db D
Beautiful faces smiling over us
A G# D Db
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
A G# Db D
Beautiful people won't remember you, honey
A G# D Db
I bet you can't get enough
[Verse 3]
N.C.
Tonight I'm good staying inside
N.C.
But I'll be dancing for sure
N.C.
Going to the stores, pulling socks out of the drawers
F#m Bm
People who you don't love anymore
[Chorus]
A G# Db D
Beautiful faces smiling over us
A G# D Db
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
A G# Db D
Beautiful people won't remember you, honey
A G# D Db
I bet you can't get enough
A G# Db D
Beautiful faces smiling over us
A G# D Db
Lift your hands up and lead us back home
A G# Db D
Beautiful people won't remember you, honey
A G# D Db
I bet you can't get enough
