[Intro] x2
[D MajorD] - ([G+G]walk [FF]down) - [E minorEm]


D MajorD
Bill’s been thinking a lot these days
     G+G     FF    E minorEm
About the way things used to be
D MajorD
He’s never been the kind of man
  G+G  FF  E minorEm    D MajorD
To put much faith in destiny

D MajorD
Sometimes he feels the warmth
   G+G     FF  E minorEm
Of a fire from long ago
D MajorD              G+G
Sometimes he steps into the night
  FF   E minorEm         D MajorD
And all he feels is the winter cold

C majorC     G+G        D MajorD  C majorC
Everybody dance around the fire tonight
C majorC           G+G        D MajorD
You don’t have to wait ’till it’s your turn
C majorC     G+G               D MajorD  C majorC
Everybody dance a little closer to the flame tonight
       G+G
But don’t get burned
       D MajorD
Pray that you don’t get burned

   D MajorD
They met in high school
     G+G   FF   E minorEm
And they never had a doubt
D MajorD
There’d be some hard times
    G+G     FF   E minorEm   D MajorD
But old Bill would find a way to work things out

Katie had a way about her
   G+G    FF  E minorEm
That made old Bill believe
 D MajorD
A augmentedA small farm and three kids later
  G+G    FF      E minorEm   D MajorD
It looked just like the perfect family
  C majorC    G+G           D MajorD          C majorC
But one day Bill found out what he should’ve known all along:
      G+G
Things fall apart sometimes
  D MajorD         C majorC          D MajorD
One minute something’s there and then it’s gone

D MajorD
With the kids in bed that night
   G+G   FF    E minorEm
Katie gently shut the door
D MajorD
She turned to Bill and said
  G+G     FF    E minorEm    D MajorD
I’m sorry but I don’t love you anymore

  D MajorD
And now he spends his days
   G+G     FF   E minorEm
Just like he’s always done
D MajorD
You’d never guess the sorrow
     G+G  FF E minorEm    D MajorD
That he’s hid so well from everyone

D MajorD
The house is empty now
  G+G  FF      E minorEm
The kids grown up and gone
  D MajorD
And Bill slips into bed at night
   G+G   FF      E minorEm      D MajorD
With Katie right by his side and they hold on

C majorC     G+G        D MajorD  C majorC
Everybody dance around the fire tonight
C majorC         G+G          D MajorD
You don’t have to wait ’till it’s your turn
C majorC     G+G              D MajorD   C majorC
Everybody dance a little closer to the flame tonight
       G+G
But don’t get burned
       D MajorD
Pray that you don’t get burned
