  			***INTRO: 
       D  Em 
D                                     G 
Some times she'll have one drink too many 
Bm              A                G 
Some times she laughs a bit too loud 
D                           Em 
She's the first one on the dance floor 
D                  A        G 
She'll dance with any man around 
A           Bm               G  
I watch the way they all surround her 
A           Bm                G   D           
I know that they don't understand her 
***chorus       
           F#m           G         A      D 
She's just dancin'to the beat of a broken heart 
D             F#m            G              A  
Searchin' for comfort with strangers in the dark 
Bm            G             Bm            E 
It's just her way to fight another lonely night 
G              A                D  
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart 
D                   G 
She's the center of attention 
Bm     A                G 
Everytime she comes in here 
D                        Em  
And as she dances by my table 
D           A             G  
I see the traces of the tears 
A               Bm                 G 
There's someone somewhere she's not over 
A          Bm            G   D    
She's just looking for a shoulder 
***chorus*** 
 G              A                D  
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart 
 G              A                D  
Dancing to the beat of a broken heart 
        G             A                D 
She's dancing to the beat of a broken heart 
Mmmmm  Mmmmm 
Ooohh  Ooohh
