Slave to the Rhythm

Am F, She dances in the sheets at nights

C Em, She dances to his needs

Am F, She dances 'til he feels just right

C G, Until he falls asleep

Am F, She dances at the crack of dawn

C Em, and quickly cooks his food

Am F, She can't be late, can't take too long

C G, The kids must get to school

,

Am F

She's a slave to the rhythm, C Em

She's a slave to the rhythm of, Am

She's a slave to the rhythm, F

A slave to the rhythm of, C G

The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love

Am F, She dances for the man at work

C Em, Who works her all the time

Am F, She can't be rude as she says

C G, Sir, "I must be home tonight"

Am F, She dances to the kitchen stove

C Em, Dinner is served by nine

Am F, He says his food's an hour late

C G, She must be outta her mind

E, She works so hard, just to make her way

Am F, For a man who just don't appreciate

E, And though he takes her love in vain

Am F

Still she could not stop, couldn't break his chains

Am F, She danced the night that they fell out

C Em, She swore she'd dance no more

Am F, But dance she did, he did not quit

C G, as she ran out the door

Am F

She danced through the night in fear of her life

C Em, She danced to a beat of her own

Am F, She let out a cry and swallowed her pride

C G, She knew she was needed back home, home
