Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
Am Dm G
I feel so unsure as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
Am Dm
As the music dies, something in your eyes
G Am
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes
Chorus
Am Dm G Am
I’m never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm
Dm G Am
Though it’s easy to pretend, I know you’re not a fool
Bb F
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
Dm G
And waste the chance that I’d been given
Am Dm Am
So I’m never gonna dance again the way I danced with you
Verse 2
Am Dm G
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
Am Dm
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
G Am
There’s no comfort in the truth
