[Verse]

Dm7 Gm7 Am7 Bb(maj7) Am7
I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
Dm Gm7 Am7 Bb(maj7)
As the music dies Somthing in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen
Am7
And all it's sad goodbyes
Dm Gm7 Am7
I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rythm
Bb(maj7) Am7
Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool
Dm
Should have known better than to cheat a friend
Gm7 Am7
And waste the chance that I've been given
Bb(maj7) Am7 Dm
So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you

Am7 (riff.2) Dm---
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again

And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again

“Dm” “Bb” “Bbmaj7” “Am7” _2x_

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Dm Bb

Bbmaj7
Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
Am7
That you had to leave me alone
