INTRO: Am Dm F Em x2
 
 
Am          Dm
I feel so unsure
    Fmaj7                           Em
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
Am                 Dm
as the music dies, something in your eyes
Fmaj7
calls to mind the silver screen
Em
and all its sad good-byes
 
Am
I'm never gonna dance again
Dm
guilty feet have got no rhythm
Fmaj7
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
Fmaj7
so I'm never gonna dance again
Em
the way I danced with you
 
    Am Dm F Em x2
oohh
 
Am               Dm
Time can never mend
    Fmaj7                  Em
the careless whispers of a good friend
 
Am                    Dm
to the heart and mind ignorance is kind
Fmaj7
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
Fmaj7
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
Fmaj7
so I'm never gonna dance again
Em
the way I danced with you
 
    Am Dm Fmaj7  Em x2
oohh
 
Am
Tonight the music seems so loud
Dm
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Fmaj7
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
Fmaj7                               Em
But noone's gonna dance with me please stay
 
 
Am
And I'm never gonna dance again
Dm
guilty feet have got no rhythm
Fmaj7
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
Fmaj7
so I'm never gonna dance again
Em
the way I danced with you
 
    Am Dm Fmaj7  Em x2
oohh
 
Am                     Fmaj7
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
Am                     Fmaj7
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
Em
that you had to leave me alone
 
 
 Am Dm Fmaj7  Em
