Verse:
        D MajorD        G+G     C majorC
He came in the ballroom, just a crazy old man
  G+G       D MajorD      G+G
His eyes seemed to glaze in the light
       D MajorD     G+G      C majorC
Just some old hawker, to judge by his rags
   G+G      D MajorD      G+G
Come in from the cold of the night

Verse:
    C majorC       G+G       C majorC      G+G
And the whole room was dancing, they paid him no mind
   C majorC       G+G       A minorAm      D MajorD
As he slipped to the bar and said, "Please be so kind"
  G+G     D MajorD       G+G      C majorC
The music kept ringing in the back of his mind
  G+G       D MajorD       G+G
No telling what a love song will do

Verse:
          D MajorD        G+G     C majorC
As the queen of the ballroom sang a favourite song
  G+G       D MajorD      G+G
He stood with the glass in his hand
        D MajorD     G+G      C majorC
He was weary of living the days of his life
   G+G       D MajorD       G+G
And tonight was the last he could stand

Verse:
  C majorC      G+G     C majorC      G+G
He shut out the future, he shut out the past
  C majorC    G+G      A minorAm     D MajorD
And even the present was running out fast
  G+G      D MajorD        G+G       C majorC
The queen of the ballroom said, "Make this the last"
  G+G       D MajorD       G+G
No telling what a love song will do

Instrumental:
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
G MajorG D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G

Verse:
         D MajorD      G+G     C majorC
As she started to sing for the very last time
  G+G       D MajorD      G+G
He trembled as he stood there alone
            D MajorD     G+G      C majorC
And the pain he'd been holding inside for so long
   G+G       D MajorD       G+G
Just fell from his heart and was gone

Verse:
    C majorC   G+G     C majorC     G+G
It was only a love song, simple and clear
    C majorC      G+G       A minorAm     D MajorD
But he bowed as it shook him with every last tear
    G+G     D MajorD       G+G        C majorC
And he cried from relief, and he cried half from fear
  G+G       D MajorD       G+G
No telling what a love song will do

Verse:
           D MajorD       G+G      C majorC
Oh, the queen of the ballroom still glitters and shines
   G+G       D MajorD      G+G
Each night at the "Old Kindness Sake"
       D MajorD       G+G     C majorC
And maybe its something they put in the wine
    G+G    D MajorD    G+G
But her beauty refuses to fade

Verse:
 C majorC       G+G      C majorC       G+G
I think she got married to a stranger, they say
    C majorC     G+G      A minorAm     D MajorD
Just a crazy old man who came passing one day
    G+G        D MajorD       G+G      C majorC
And the whole town still dances and the music still plays
  G+G       D MajorD       G+G
No telling what a love song will do
C majorC G+G       D MajorD       G+G  C majorC G+G  D MajorD  G+G
No telling what a love song will do
