VERSO 1: 

Dm            Gm 
I feel so unsure 
     Bb 
As I take your hand 
             Am 
And lead you to the dance floor 
 Dm 
  As the music dies 	D|--0--0--3--5/7~~~~---| 
Gm 
  Something in your eyes 
Bb 
Calls to mind a silver screen 
    Am 
And all its sad goodbyes 


D5 
  I'm never gonna dance again 
      G5 
These guilty feet have got no rhythm 
Bb5 
  Though it's easy to pretend 
  A5 
I know you're not a fool 
  D5 
I should've known better than to cheat a friend 
    G5 
And waste the chance that I'd been given 
Bb5 
  So I'm never gonna dance again 
    A5 
The way I danced with you 

   Ohh-ohh

VERSO 2: 

Dm                Gm 
Time can never mend 
    Bb 
The careless whispers 
Am 
Of a good friend 
 Dm 
  To the heart and mind  	D|--0--0--3--5/7~~~~---| 
Gm 
  Ignorance is kind 
Bb 
There's no comfort in the truth 
Am 
Pain is all you'll find. 


(REFRÃO) 

(Intro)   Ohh-ohh 

PONTE: 

  D5 
Tonight the music seems so loud 
  G5 
I wish that we could lose this crowd 
Bb5 
Maybe it's better this way 
     A5 
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd wanna say 
   D5 
We could have been so good together 
   G5 
We could have lived this dance forever 
    Bb5 
But now who's gonna dance with me? 
A5        D5 
   Please stay!
