Verse 1:
C majorC     G7G7 C majorC      DmDm  C majorC A minorAm   G+G
Thanks for the dance,  I'm sor - ry you're tired,
C majorC   FF          C majorC             G7G7 C majorC   G7G7
The evening has hardly be-gun,  one two three, one two three one.
C majorC     G7G7 C majorC    DmDm C majorC FF  G+G C majorC             G7G7 C majorC   G7G7
Thanks for the dance, try to look inspired, one two three, one two three one.


Chorus 1:
C majorC     DmDm   C majorC  G7G7      C majorC     FF
There's a rose in your hair,  your shoulders are bare,
      FF      C majorC G7G7  FF C majorC
you've been wearing this costume forever.
  A minorAm  C majorC        A minorAm  C majorC       A minorAm  C majorC
So turn up the music,  pour out the wine, stop at the surface,
  F minorFm     C majorC     F minorFm          C majorC
The surface is fine; we don't need to go any deeper.

Verse 2:
      G7G7 C majorC     DmDm  C majorC  A minorAm  G+G
Thanks for the dance,  I hear that we're married,
        C majorC  G7G7 C majorC
One two three, one two three one.
      G7G7 C majorC        FF    C majorC
Thanks for the dance,  and The Baby you carried,
     G+G      C majorC  FF  C majorC
It was almost a daughter or a son.


Chorus 2:
G+G      C majorC  FF  C majorC       FF C majorC  A minorAm C majorC
And there's nothing to do, but to wonder if you,
    FF  C majorC  A minorAm C majorC    FF C majorC
are as hopeless as me, and as decent.
   A minorAm   C majorC        A minorAm   C majorC
We're joined in the spirit, joined at the hip,
D7D7          F minorFm    C majorC
Joined in the panic, wondering if,
   DmDm        C majorC FF C majorC
We've come to some sort of a–greement.


Interlude:
C majorC    FF  G+G   G// C majorC G7G7 C majorC         G+G  C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Dum Dum Dah-Dum,         Dum Dum Dah-Dum


Verse 3:
C majorC DmDm C majorC  A minorAm   G+G        C majorC    FF  G+G
It was fine it was fast,  we were first we were last,
  C majorC      DmDm C majorC  F minorFm C majorC          E7E7
In line at the Temple of pleasure,  but the green was so green,
C majorC    FF          D7D7        G+G      F minorFm
And the blue was so blue,  I was so I, and you were so you,
C majorC  G+G     F minorFm   C majorC  F minorFm C majorC
The crisis was light, as a feather.


Verse 4:
C majorC     G7G7 C majorC    C majorC DmDm C majorC   A minorAm   G+G       C majorC
Thanks for the dance, it was hell, it was swell, it was fun.
C majorC         G7G7 C majorC   G+G       G7G7       C majorC
Thanks for all the dances,  one two three, one two three, one.

Outro:
C majorC        G// G7// C majorC          G// G7// C majorC
Dum Dum Dah-Dum,        Dum Dum Dah-Dum.
