verse 1
C F
You tell me that you love me
Dm G C F Dm G
And you never want me to say goodbye
C F
But it seems like every other day
Dm G C F Dm G
I'm hearing rumors about some other guy
Am G
Ooh, I know I'll never be your first love
C F

It's all just a dance in your eyes
verse 2
C F
I wish that I could keep you
Dm G C F Dm G
Safe and warm with me all of the time
C F
But it's seems like every other day
Dm G C F Dm G
You've got excuses to go out for the night
Am G
Well, maybe I'm just getting boring,
C F
Or maybe you'd just rather go out alone
C F
So baby shake it on the dancefloor
Dm G C F Dm
Knowing I'll be lying awake at home
G
'Cause I know, 'cause I know

But maybe some day soon

When the rhythm gets stale

And your bones get too brittle to move

Yeah, maybe some day soon...

You'll believe all these lies
F
That I'm telling you now
