verse 1  
G  
When I was 14, I was fallin' fast  
      C  
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class  
G  
Tryin' to find the courage to ask her out  
         C  
Was like tryin' to oil from a water spout  
  
  
Bridge 1  
D  
What you can say that I can't say  
C  
I never did ask and she moved away  
D  
But I learned something from my blue-eyed girl  
C                       D         G  
Sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl  
  
  
Chorus  
G                   D            G  
Life's a dance, you learn as you go  
D                   G  
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow  
C                     D  
Don't worry bout what you don't know  
C                   D            G  
Life's a dance, you learn as you go  
  
Verse 2  
The longer I live the more I believe  
You do have to give if you wanna receive  
There's a time to listen, a time to talk  
and you might have to crawl even after you walk  
  
Bridge 2  
Had sure things blow up in my face  
Seen the long shot win the race  
Been knocked down by the slammin' door  
Picked myself up and came back for more  
  
Chorus  
  
{Then the song kicks up -->  
either capo at 5 or  
G becomes A  
C --> D  
D --> E  
  
Repeat Chorus  
  
G(A)     C(D)   G(A)      C(D) 
Life's a dance, Life's a dance 
G(A)     C(D)    G(A)  
Life's a dance, Take a Chance on Love  
       D                  G 
You learn as you go
