F                            G     Bb                   C
On the banks of the Tennesse river, in a small Kentucky town
Dm                         Bb
I drew my first breath one cold November morning
F                                       Am
And before my feet had even touched the ground
F                                        Am
With the doctors and the nurses standing round
Dm                 [intro riff]
I started to dance


Little boy full of wide-eyed wonder
Footloose and fancy-free
But it would happen, as it does for every dancer
That I stumbled on a truth I could not see
And find a longing deep inside of me


Chorus:
Dm
I am the heart, I need the heartbeat
Bb
I am the eyes, I need the sight
G                      Bb             C
And I see clearly I am just the body, I need the life
Dm
I move my feet and go through the motions
Bb
But who gives purpose to chance
G                  Bb       C           Dm   [Intro riff]
I am the dancer, I need the lord of the dance

Steven and his band did this song totally live, without any editing or
dubbing or looping which I found impressive
