Dm7                  Gm7     Bbmaj7            Am7
Time can never mend,     the careless whispers of a good friend.
Dm                       Gm7
  To the heart and mind,   ignorance is kind
Bbmaj7                           Am7                Dm
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find.

Dm7                Gm7      Bbmaj7                      Am7 
  I feel so unsure,    as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
Dm                   Gm7               
  As the music dies,   something in your eyes,
Bbmaj7                             Am7             Dm
Calls to mind a silver screen, and all its sad goodbyes.

Bbmaj7  x13231

Dm                             Gm7
  I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Bbmaj7                           Am7 
  Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool.

  Dm
I should have known better than to cheat a friend, 
    Gm7
And waste the chance that I've been given.
Bbmaj7
  So I'm never gonna dance again,
    Am7               Dm  Am7  Dm     | Gm7 | Bbmaj7 | Am7 |
The way I danced with you whoo hoo - oh oh

VERSE3:
Chords:
Dm7  x57565    Bbmaj7  x13231
Gm7  353333    Am7     575555

  Dm7                              Gm7
Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Am7
  Maybe it's better this way, 
   Bbmaj7
We hurt each other with the things we want to say.

   Dm7
We could have been so good together, 
   Gm7
We could have made this dance forever... 
    Bbmaj7                      Am7
But now, who's gonna dance with me?

Please stay.
