Ballerina Chords

[Verse 1]
C                             D       Em
 If silence is golden then we must be rich
                                            Bm      C
But the breath that we're holding's feeling counterfeit
                                       D         Em
The time that you've stolen shouldn't hurt like this
         Bm
But the truth is
C                                     D        Em
 And if silence is golden, here's our golden years
                          Bm        C
So why am I choking up on all these tears?
                               D         Em
Words left unspoken shouldn't hurt like this
          Bm
But the truth is
 
[Chorus]
C                       D
 I'm sorry, what's your excuse?
Em                          Bm
 You're dancing 'round the subject
C                  D
 Tiptoe around the bad news
Em                   Bm
 Somehow I think you love it
C                     D
 Ballеrina dressed in black
Em                             Bm
 I wanna scream but you got my nеck
C                       D
 I'm sorry, what's your excuse?
Em                          Bm
 You're dancing 'round the subject
 
[Post-Chorus]
C                                 D
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round
Em                            Bm
'Round and 'round and 'round
 
[Verse 2]
C                                            D         Em
 And there's a bull in the ballroom, but you say we're fine
                                          Bm           C
While you're waving your red flags around the whole time
                         D        Em
It isn't poetic, but I'm sick of lying
           Bm
When the truth is
C                                D     Em
 You bend over backwards to step on my toes
                                     Bm         C
Every moment that's mine, you go and make your own
                                 D        Em
Don't try to deny it, 'cause I know you know
           Bm
What the truth is
 
[Chorus]
C                       D
 I'm sorry, what's your excuse?
Em                          Bm
 You're dancing 'round the subject
C                  D
 Tiptoe around the bad news
Em                   Bm
 Somehow I think you love it
C                     D
 Ballеrina dressed in black
Em                             Bm
 I wanna scream but you got my nеck
C                       D
 I'm sorry, what's your excuse?
Em                          Bm
 You're dancing 'round the subject
 
[Bridge]
C                              D            Em
 The lights are now on and the band's gone home
                                Bm          C
We're spinning in circles so no one would know
                                     D        Em
The song in your head ain't one I've heard before
                       Bm
And you know what the truth is
C  D Em                         Bm
        And you know what the truth is
 C                                D
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round
 Em
'Round and 'round and 'round
                        Bm
(And you know what the truth is)
 C                                D
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round
                             Bm
'Round and 'round and 'round
 
[Chorus]
C                       D
 I'm sorry, what's your excuse?
Em               N.C.
 You're dancing 'round the subject
C                  D

C                     D
 Ballеrina dressed in black
Em                             Bm
 I wanna scream but you got my nеck
C                       D
 I'm sorry, what's your excuse?
Em                          Bm
 You're dancing 'round the subject
