Lyrics

Last dance,

last chance for (Ebmaj7)love.

Yes, it’s my (Ebmaj7)last chance

for (Fm)ro mance

to (Db)night.

I (Abmaj7)need you

(Bb)by me,

be (Gm7)side me

to (Cm7)guide me;

to (Abmaj7)hold me;

to (Bb)scold me,

’cause when I’m (G7sus)bad, I’m (G7)so, so bad.

So (Eb)let’s dance

the (Ab)last dance,

(Eb)Let’s dance

the (Ab)last dance.

(Eb)Let’s dance

this (Ab)last dance

to (A)night.

(Ebmaj7)Last dance.

(Fm)Let’s dance

for (Ebmaj7)love.

Yes, it’s my (Ebmaj7)last dance

for (Fm)ro mance

to (Db)night.

Oh,

I (Abmaj7)need you

by me,

be (Gm7)side me

to guide me;

to (Abmaj7)hold me,

to scold me, ’cause when I’m bad, I’m (G7)so, so bad.

So (Eb)let’s dance

the (Ab)last dance.

(Eb)Let’s dance

the (Ab)last dance.

(Eb)Let’s dance

the (Ab)last dance

to (Cm)night.

I can’t be sure

that you’re the (Abmaj7)one for me.

All that I (Gm7)ask

is that you (Ebmaj7)dance with me.

(Cm9)Dance with me.

(Abmaj7)Dance with me.

Yeah.
