Intro: C C 

C 
We both sat there in denial 
F 
I was miles away 
Am 
You dusted off your old flats 
G 
And you practiced your plies 

C                                  F 
Blank stares across an empty vacuum of stubbornness and vanity 
Am                     F 
Instead of saying what you really mean 
         G 
You just dance away from me 

F     G 
I know your shadows 
Am  F               Am G 
I'm engrossed in silhouette 
C       G                       Am F             Am G 
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette 

C                                F 
Cold breezes and colder shoulders to make this night complete 
Am 
Do I dare drag my feet 
F 
Dare to sleep alone? 
              G 
Will you keep dancing to the beat? 

F     G 
I know your shadows 
Am  F               Am G 
I'm engrossed in silhouette 
C       G                       Am F             Am G 
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette 


F        G 
Yeah ay yeah 
Am       G 
Yeah ay yeah 
F        G 
Yeah ay yeah 
C 
Yeah ay yeah 

F 
I will scream it from the rooftop 
G 
Get this out of me 
    F             G 
And bellow out of key 
F 
I'm too tired 
G                            Am   G 
And now I just want to fall asleep 

But you just dance away from me 


F     G 
I know your shadows 
Am  F               Am G 
I'm engrossed in silhouette 
C       G                       Am F             Am G 
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette 

Ending: F C G
