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

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
