Lyrics

(Dm7)I feel so un sure

as I (Bbmaj7)take your hand and lead you (Am7)to the dance floor; as the mu sic dies

some thing in your eyes

(Bbmaj7)calls to mind a sil ver screen and (Am7)you’re its sad good bye.

I’m nev er gon na dance a gain, (Gm7)guilt y feet have got no (Am7)rhy thm.

Though it’s eas y to pre tend, I (Am7)know you’re not a fool.

I (Dm)should have known bet ter than to cheat a friend, and (Gm7)waste a chance that I’ve been (Am7)giv en.

So I’m nev er gon na dance a gain the (Am7)way I dance with you.

(Dm7)Time can nev er mend

as the (Bbmaj7)care less whis per lead you (Am7)of a good friend; to the heart and mind

ig nor ance is kind.

(Bbmaj7)There’s no com fort in the truth; and (Am7)pain is all you’ll find.

I’m nev er gon na dance a gain, (Gm7)guilt y feet have got no (Am7)rhy thm.

Though it’s eas y to pre tend, I (Am7)know you’re not a fool.

I (Dm)should have known bet ter than to cheat a friend, and (Gm7)waste a chance that I’ve been (Am7)giv en.

So I’m nev er gon na dance a gain the (Am7)way I dance with you.

(Am7)way I dance with you, oh.

To (Dm7)night the mu sic seems so loud, I (Gm7)wish that we could lose this (Am7)crowd.

(Bbmaj7)May be it’s bet ter this way, if we’d (Am7)hurt each oth er with the things we want to say.

We (Dm)could have been so good to geth er, we (Gm7)could have lived this dance for ev er.

But (Bbmaj7)now who’s gon na dance with (Am7)me?

Please dance.

I’m nev er gon na dance a gain, (Gm7)guilt y feet have got no (Am7)rhy thm.

Though it’s eas y to pre tend, I (Am7)know you’re not a fool.

I (Dm)should have known bet ter than to cheat a friend, and (Gm7)waste a chance that I’ve been (Am7)giv en.

So I’m nev er gon na dance a gain the (Am7)way I dance with you.
