Slow Country Dance

[C]  [D]  [G]  [G]
[G]Out on the [C]floor the [G]couples are [D]swaying
To "[G]One Faded [C]Love" on the [G]jukebox to[D]night
You [Em7]slide in your [C]coins and the [G]music keeps pl[D]aying
A [G]slow country [C]dance on a [D]Saturday [G]night

[G]Sweethearts in [C]love and [G]others just [D]lonely
[G]Searching for [C]someone to [G]waltz with to[D]night
In a [Em7]smoky old [C]bar you [G]know that it's [D]only
A [G]slow country [C]dance on a [D]Saturday [G]night [G]

And [F]love's never [C]easy or [G]ever as [D]true
When the [F]changing of [C]partners is [G]no longer [D]new [D]
You [G]lead with your [C]heart, and [G]closing your [D]eyes
[G]Dance just to [C]dance in [D]three-quarter [G]time
[G]  [C]  [D]  [G]
Down at the bar a woman tells stories
Batting her eyes to someone not there
Her glass is half full or maybe half empty
Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear

Now the perfume is cheap and the makeup is careless
And the dress out of fashion for a woman her age
But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish
A much lighter step and a much younger face

And love's never easy or ever as true
When the changing of partners is no longer new
You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes
Dance just to dance in three-quarter time
