D# Cm
Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
G# A#
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
G# A#
I said "it's love" you said "all right"
D# Cm
It's funny how I could never cry
G# A#
Until tonight and you pass by
G# A#
Hand in hand with another guy

You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?
F Dm
Dance away the heartache
A# C F Dm
Dance away the tears - Dance away
Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark, off the wall
Let the strobe light up them all
I close my eyes and dance till dawn
Dance away -
Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
Off the street onto the floor
There was I - many times a fool
I hope and pray, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough
Dance away -
