[Intro]  E

E
Sifting through the rubble of my mispent life
F#m
No home of my own, no child, no wife
A
Every kind of error and all kinds of strife
B
Days lived in a trance

E
People that I've hurt, more than a few
F#m
I told a lot of lies 'stead of what was true
A                              B
Always left the real for the slick and new romance

Still, I'm gonna dance

(  A  E  B  )

E
Looking through the pages of my past regrets
F#m
All the days and weeks I wish I could forget
A
Feeling a disaster but at least well-dressed
B
I always wore the pants

E
Moments I was happy, though I can't deny
F#m
Burned a lot of bridges and I don't know why
A                                             B
Gotta face the music, 'cause it might be my last chance

No choice but to dance

(  A  E  B  )
(  F#m  A  E  B  ) 
(  A  E  B  )

E
As my stats went skyward my joy went down
F#m
Felt like I'd been dropped at the lost and found
A
Tried to stop it sliding but it's coming down
B
Like an avalanche

E
I'm not superstitious though I feared I was cursed
F#m
You'd think that almost drowning would have quenched my thirst
A                                                      B
But you walked in the room and I knew at our first glance
With you I wanna dance

(  A  E  B  )
(  F#m  A  E  B  ) 
(  A  E  B  )

E
Terror often grips me and I want to run
F#m
Like staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
A
Been a lot of things but I was never one
B
For making long term plans

E
Maybe you and I are the yang and yin
F#m
I really wanna hate but my case is thin
A                                         B
My brain wants out but my heart's now in your hands

So maybe we should dance

(  A  E  B  )
(  F#m  A  E  B  ) 
(  A  E  B  )
