Capo fifth fret

Intro
Am Dm F Em x 2

Am                      Dm
I feel so unsure
.       F                                                Em
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
Am                           Dm
as the music dies, something in your eyes
F
calls to mind a silver screen
Em
and all its sad good-byes

Am
I’m never gonna dance again
Dm
guilty feet have got no rhythm
F
though it’s easy to pretend
Em
I know you’re not a fool

 

Am
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
Dm
and waste the chance that I’ve been given
F
so I’m never gonna dance again
Em
the way I danced with you

.           Am Dm F Em
oohh

 

Am                         Dm
Time can never mend
F                                      Em
the careless whispers of a good friend
Am
to the heart and mind
Dm
ignorance is kind
F
there’s no comfort in the truth
Em
pain is all you’ll find

 

Am
I’m never gonna dance again
Dm
guilty feet have got no rhythm
F
though it’s easy to pretend
Em
I know you’re not a fool

 

Am
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
Dm
and waste the chance that I’ve been given
F
so I’m never gonna dance again
Em                                           Am Dm F
the way I danced with you
.                                            Em
Never without your love

 

Am
Tonight the music seems so loud
Dm
I wish that we could lose this crowd
F
Maybe it’s better this way
Em
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to say

Am
We could have been so good together
Dm
We could have lived this dance forever
F                                                            Em
But now who’s gonna dance with me

Please stay

 






Am
I’m never gonna dance again
Dm
guilty feet have got no rhythm
F
though it’s easy to pretend
Em
I know you’re not a fool

[Chorus]

Am
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
Dm
and waste the chance that I’ve been given
F
so I’m never gonna dance again
Em
the way I danced with you

 

Am                          Dm                                      F       Em
(Now that you’re gone) Now that you’re gone
Am                         Dm                                      F
(Now that you’re gone) What I did’s so wrong
.                             Em
that you had to leave me alone
