Verse 1:
C          G7  C            Dm    C  Am     G
Thanks for the dance,   I'm sor - ry you're tired,
C     F                   C                         G7  C     G7
The evening has hardly be-gun,   one two three, one two three one.
C          G7  C       Dm  C  F    G  C                         G7  C     G7
Thanks for the dance,  try to look inspired, one two three, one two three one.


Chorus 1:
C         Dm      C    G7           C         F
There's a rose in your hair,   your shoulders are bare,
            F            C  G7   F  C
you've been wearing this costume forever.
   Am   C               Am   C              Am   C
So turn up the music,   pour out the wine,  stop at the surface,
    Fm         C         Fm                   C
The surface is fine;  we don't need to go any deeper.

Verse 2:
           G7  C          Dm   C    Am    G
Thanks for the dance,   I hear that we're married,
               C   G7  C
One two three, one two three one.
           G7  C                F        C
Thanks for the dance,   and The Baby you carried,
         G           C   F    C
It was almost a daughter or a son.


Chorus 2:
G           C   F   C              F  C   Am C
And there's nothing to do,  but to wonder if you,
       F   C    Am C        F  C
are as hopeless as me,  and as decent.
      Am     C               Am     C
We're joined in the spirit,  joined at the hip,
D7                    Fm        C
Joined in the panic,  wondering if,
      Dm                C  F  C
We've come to some sort of a–greement.


Interlude:
C       F   G     G//  C  G7  C                  G   C  G7  C
Dum Dum Dah-Dum,                 Dum Dum Dah-Dum


Verse 3:
C  Dm  C    Am     G               C        F    G
It was fine it was fast,   we were first we were last,
   C           Dm C   Fm  C                   E7
In line at the Temple of  pleasure,   but the green was so green,
C       F                    D7               G           Fm
And the blue was so blue,    I was so I,  and you were so you,
C   G          Fm     C    Fm  C
The crisis was light, as a feather.


Verse 4:
C          G7  C       C  Dm  C     Am     G              C
Thanks for the dance,  it was hell, it was swell,  it was fun.
C                  G7  C      G              G7             C
Thanks for all the dances,    one two three, one two three, one.
