I  feel  so unsure,
 As I take  your hand and lead you to  the dance floor.
As  the  music dies...
Something  in your eyes,
Calls  to mind a silver screen,
 And all  those sad goodbyes.
I'm  never gonna  dance  again,
Guilty  feet have got no  rhythm.
Though  it's easy to pretend,
I  know you're not a fool.
I  should have no 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.

 Play Verse Chords, minus the Amsus2 and Dmadd1)
 Time can never mend,
 The careless whispers of a good friend.
 To the heart and mind,
 If your answer's kind...
 There's no comfort in the truth,
 Pain is all you'll find.
 REPEAT CHORUS
 Play to verse chords music Amsus2 and Dmadd1)
 Tonite the music seems so loud,
 I wish that we could lose the crowd.
 Maybe it's better this way,
 We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say.
 We could have been so good together,
 We could have made this last forever...
 But now, who's gonna dance with me?
 Please stay.
 Now that you're gone...
 Now that you're gone...
 Now that you're gone...
 Was what I did so wrong?
 So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
 REPEAT CHORUS
 And thats about it!

[Am7]I feel[Amsus2] so       un[Dm]sure,  [Dmadd1]
As I [Dm11]take your hand and lead you [A7sus4]to the dance floor.

[Dm]Something in your e[Dmadd1]yes,

[Dm11]Calls to mind a silver screen,
And [A7Sus4]all those sad goodbyes.
