Terracotta Toes

Daniel 2: 41-43

Intro: G D/F# Em C

Verse 1

G D/F#

You turn from the mirror, your make-up is flawless

Em C

The spark in your eye says you’re ready to groove

G D/F#

A toss of your hair through manicured fingers

Em C

And fashion that states “Look! This girl’s on the move!”

Em D/F#

I see your smile, your face it glows

C D

But how can you dance when you’ve got terracotta toes?

Chorus

G D/F#

How can you dance? How can you dance?

Em C

How can you dance when you’ve got terracotta toes?

G D/F#

How can you dance? How can you dance?

Em C

How can you dance when you’ve got terracotta toes?

Verse 2

G C/F#

You sign your emails “Yours sincerely”

Em C

I can’t help thinking you don’t know what it means

G D/F#

When the wax in your pock holes melts in the furnace

Em C

Maybe then you’ll know your life is not what it seems

Em D/F#

Who is this impostor? God only knows

C D

But how can you dance when you’ve got terracotta toes?

Repeat chorus

Bridge

Bm Em Bm Em

You’re not fooling me with your design label clothes

C D

’Cos how can you dance when you’ve got terracotta toes?

Bm Em Bm Em

You’re not fooling me with the beauty I see

C D

’Cos how can you dance when you’ve got terracotta toes?

Bridge 2

He looks past your face - He sees your all

He knows you can’t dance if you’ve got terracotta toes!

You won’t get a pass to go to the ball

‘Cos how can you dance when you’ve got terracotta toes?

Repeat chorus 2 times with increasing intensity
