DmI feel so un-Gmsure

as IBbtake your hand and

lead youA7to the dance floor

DmAs the music dies,

Gmsomething in your eyes

BbCalls to mind a silver screen

andA7all its sad good-Dmbye

DmI\'m never gonna dance again,

theseGmguilty feet have got no rhythm

BbThough it\'s easy to pretend

IA7know you\'re not a fool

IDmShould\'ve known better than to cheat a friend

AndGmwaste a chance that I\'ve been given

BbSo I\'m never gonna dance again

theA7way I danced with youDmohGmoh

DmTime can neverGmmend

theBbcareless whisperA7of a good friend

DmTo the heart and mind,

GmIgnorance is kind

BbThere\'s no comfort in the truth,

A7pain is the hole you\'llDmfind

DmI\'m never gonna dance again,

theseGmguilty feet have got no rhythm

BbThough it\'s easy to pretend

IA7know you\'re not a fool

IDmShould\'ve known better than to cheat a friend

AndGmwaste a chance that I\'ve been given

BbSo I\'m never gonna dance again

theA7way I danced with youDmohGmoh

To-Dmnight the music seems so loud,

IGmwish that we could lose this crowd

BbMaybe it\'s better this way,

we\'dA7hurt each other

with the things we want toCsay

WeDmcould have been so good together,

weGmcould have lived this dance forever

ButBbnow who\'s gonna dance with me,

A7...CPleaseDmstay
