[D6] [Cdim] [Em7] [A7] [A7+5] [D6] [Cdim] [Em7]
Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
[A7] [D6] [A7] [Bm7] [F#7] [B7]
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
[Edim] [DM7] [Bm] [F#m] [C#m7]-5 [F#7]
And I seem to find the hap - pi - ness I seek
[B7] [G] [G/F#] [Em7] [A7sus4] [A7+5] [D]
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
[D6] [Cdim] [Em7] [A7] [A7+5] [D6] [Cdim] [Em7]
Heaven, I'm in Heaven
[A7] [D6] [A7] [Bm7] [F#7] [B7]
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
[Edim] [DM7] [Bm] [F#m] [C#m7]-5 [F#7]
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
[B7] [G] [G/F#] [Em7] [A7sus4] [A7+5] [D]
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
Bridge:
[D7] [G] [A7] [D] [Bm7] [G] [A7] [D] [Bm7]
Oh! I love to climb a mountain, and to reach the highest peak,
[D7] [G] [A7] [D] [B7] [G] [A7] [D]
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek.
[D7] [G] [A7] [D] [Bm7] [G] [A7] [D] [Bm7]
Oh! I love to go out fishing in a river or a creek,
[D7] [G] [A7] [D] [B7] [G] [A7] [D]
But I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek.
[Dm] [Bbm]
Dance with me -- I want my arm about you;
[Fdim] [A7] [Edim] [Gdim] [Bm7]-5 [A7] [A7]+5
The charm about you will carry me through' to
[D6] [Cdim] [Em7] [A7] [A7+5] [D6] [Cdim] [Em7]
Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
[A7] [D6] [A7] [Bm7] [F#7] [B7]
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
[Edim] [DM7] [Bm] [F#m] [C#m7]-5 [F#7]
And I seem to find the hap - pi - ness I seek
[B7] [G] [G/F#] [Em7] [A7sus4] [A7+5] [D]
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
