Intro: Dm Gm Bb Am
Dm Gm Bb Am
Dm Gm
I feel so unsure
Bb Am
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
Dm Gm
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Bb
Calls to mind the silver screen
Am
And all its sad good-byes
Dm
I'm never gonna dance again
Gm
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Bb
Though it's easy to pretend
Am
I know your not a fool
Dm
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
Gm
And waste the chance that I've been given
Bb
So I'm never gonna dance again
Am
The way I danced with you
Dm Gm Bb Am
Ohh
Solo

Time can never mend

Tonight the music seems so loud

I wish that we could lose this crowd

We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
