    G - F - Em - D

 

      C                         Am

1. Yesterday, well, it seemed so cool,

                  F                          G

    when I walked you home, kissed goodnight,

F                                  G

    I said it's love, you said all right.

          C                          Am

    It's funny how I could never cry,

        F                      G                     - F                                  G

    until tonight and you passed by,       hand in hand with another guy,

F                                             G

    you're dressed to kill, and guess who's dying.

 

D                             Bm              G                       A

    Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears,

D                             Bm             G                        A

    dance away the heartache, dance away the tears.

  G

dance away.

 

     C                      Am

2. Loneliness is a crowded room,

              F                  G                      - F                    G

    full of open hearts turned to stone,      all together all alone.

C                                   Am

    All at once my whole world had changed,

                  F                G                - F                                G

    now I'm in the dark, off the wall,       let the strobe light up them all.

F                                    G

    I close my eyes and dance till dawn.

 

D                             Bm              G                       A

    Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears,

D                             Bm             G                        A

    dance away the heartache, dance away the tears.

   D                  - Bb     D                  - Bb    D#

Dance away !           Dance away !          Dance away. - - -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       C                         Am

3. Now I know I must walk the line,

        F                 G              - F                         G

    until I find an open door,       off the street onto the floor.

        C                        Am

    There was I, many times a fool,

        F                            G                   - F                           G

    I hope and pray, but not too much,        out of reach is out of touch,

F                        G

    all the way is far enough.

 

D                             Bm             G                        A

    Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears,

D                             Bm             G                        A

    dance away the heartache, dance away the tears
