E E4 A
Was it something that I said
B E E4 A B
During that godforsaken dance?
E E4 A
Did I step on you on accident
B E E4 A B
Did you give me the chance?
D6
Cause I’m standing in the middle of
E
The ballroom and the violins
A G# E
Are shut up in their cases now to go
A Am
And the idiot conductor
B E E4 A B
Had the nerve to take my coat
E E4 A
Well, this isn’t California
B E E4 A B
And I guess it’s not my scene
E E4 A
And it’s not like I’m the kind of name
B E E4 A B
You put on silver screens
D6
You gave me the lines
E
I guess I didn’t read 'em right
A G# E
But I was never one for stealing any shows
A Am
Always said that you were out of sight
B
I’m out of time
E
Take me to the backseat
B
And I’ll try to fall asleep
A
I’ll watch the trees
Am
Go ballet dancing
F#m
Past the traffic lights
B
Late at night
E
Take me to the backseat
B
Don’t know why I thought
A
That I could ever leave
Am
Or go out dancing
F#m
In a dress too tight
B
It’s cold outside
E
One two three and
E/D#
One two three and
C#m
One two three and
C#m/B
One two three and
A Am
One two, one
B
I’m not playing anymore
(repeat chord progression)
E E4 A
Was it all my own invention
B E E4 A B
Were you ever here to leave?
E E4 A
Now I wait to say goodbye
B E E4 A B
With just a touch of the naive
D6
Took it to the heart
E
I guess I have one after all
A G# E
I guess you meant it when you said it's curtain close
A Am
Always said that you were out of sight
B
I’m out of time
E
Take me to the backseat
B
And I’ll try to fall asleep
A
I’ll watch the trees

Go ballet dancing
