[Intro]
 
Am   Dm   Fmaj7   E   E7  E7*   E7  x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am              Dm
I feel so unsure
      Fmaj7
As I take your hand
                       E   E7   E*     E7
And lead you to the dance floor
Am
As the music dies
Dm
Something in your eyes
Fmaj7
Calls to mind a silver screen
        E  E7  E*   E7    Am
And all its sad goodbyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Am
I'm never gonna dance again
Dm
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Fmaj7
Though it's easy to pretend
   E
I know you're not a fool
   Am
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
       Dm
And waste a chance that I've been given
Fmaj7
So I'm never gonna dance again
       E
The way I danced with you
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am                    Dm
Time can never mend
      Fmaj7                  E  E7 E*   E7
The careless whisper of a good friend
Am
To the heart and mind
Dm
Ignorance is kind
Fmaj7
There's no comfort in the truth
E     E7 E*  E7    Am
Pain is all you'll find
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Am
I'm never gonna dance again
Dm
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Fmaj7
Though it's easy to pretend
   E
I know you're not a fool
   Am
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
       Dm
And waste a chance that I've been given
Fmaj7
So I'm never gonna dance again
       E
The way I danced with you
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am
Tonight the music seems so loud
  Dm
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Fmaj7
Maybe it's better this way
         E
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
      Am
We could have been so good together
      Dm
We could have lived this dance forever
     Fmaj7                                 E
But now who's gonna dance with me
E7   E* E7
Please stay
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Am
I'm never gonna dance again
Dm
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Fmaj7
Though it's easy to pretend
   E
I know you're not a fool
   Am
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
       Dm
And waste a chance that I've been given
Fmaj7
So I'm never gonna dance again
       E
The way I danced with you
 
 
[Outro]
 
Am                     Dm
Now that you've gone
                         Fmaj7     E
Now that you've gone
Am                       Dm
Now that you've gone
                   Fmaj7
Was what I did so wrong
                                        E
So wrong that you had to leave me alone
 
Am   Dm   Fmaj7   E  x2
 
 
 
Am      Dm      Fmaj7   E       E7      E*

Not E and E7, but Em and Em7 respectively. Not sure though if the E7* just becomes 032000 or 030000.
