[Intro]
Dm Gm7 Am7 Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm Gm7 Am7 Bbmaj7 Am7
Oh..oh..oh
[Verse 1]
Dm7 Gm7
I feel so unsure,
Am7 Bbmaj7 Am7
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
Dm7 Gm7 Am7
As the music dies, something in your eyes,
Bbmaj7
Calls to mind a silver screen,
Am7
And all its sad goodbyes.
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm never gonna dance again,
Gm7 Am7
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Bbmaj7
Though it's easy to pretend,
Am7
I know you're not a fool.
Dm7
I should have known better than to cheat a friend,
Gm7 Am7
And waste the chance that I've been given.
Bbmaj7
So I'm never gonna dance again,
Am7 Dm7
The way I danced with you whoo hoo - oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Dm7 Gm7
Time can never mend,
Am7 Bbmaj7 Am7
The careless whispers of a good friend.
Dm7
To the heart and mind,
Gm7 Am7
Ignorance is kind
Bbmaj7
There's no comfort in the truth,
Am7
Pain is all you'll find.
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm never gonna dance again,
Gm7 Am7
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Bbmaj7
Though it's easy to pretend,
Am7
I know you're not a fool.
Dm7
I should have known better than to cheat a friend,
Gm7 Am7
And waste the chance that I've been given.
Bbmaj7
So I'm never gonna dance again,
Am7 Dm7
The way I danced with you whoo hoo - oh yeah
What am I without your love?
[Verse 3]
Dm7
Tonight the music seems so loud,
Gm7
I wish that we could lose the crowd.
Am7
Maybe it's better this way,
Bbmaj7
We hurt each other with the things we want to say.
Dm7
We could have been so good together,
Gm7
We could have made this dance forever...
Am7
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay.
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm never gonna dance again,
Gm7 Am7
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Bbmaj7
Though it's easy to pretend,
Am7
I know you're not a fool.
Dm7
I should have known better than to cheat a friend,
Gm7 Am7
And waste the chance that I've been given.
Bbmaj7
So I'm never gonna dance again,
Am7 Dm7
The way I danced with you whoo hoo - oh yeah
Background Chorus:
Dm7 Gm7 Am7 Bbmaj7
(Now that you're gone... Now that you're gone...)
Dm7 Gm7 Am7 Bbmaj7
(Now that you're gone...) Was what I did so wrong?
Am7 Bbmaj7 Am7 Bbmaj7
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
