| A                              D                 [GF1]  | A
    You look out of your window,   into the night,            could be rain, could be snow, 

                                         D              [GF1]             
But it can't feel as cold as what you're feeling inside.

    A                                                    D               [GF2]
And all of your friends are either married, vanished, or just left alone,

    E                   D                 [GF2]
But that's no reason to just stop living, 

E                   D                 Bm             E     
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart.

    A                                            D              
You walk down the street and all the young punks whistle at you,

  A                                                D                              
A nice bit of old, just goes to show what you can achieve with the right attitude.

       A                                         D              
As you pass them by, they whisper their remarks, one to another,

        A                                                D            
And you give them the eye, even though you know that you could be their mother.

You do the thing you love the best, what separates you from the rest,      

             E
And what you love to do the most?

              D                       Bm                      E     
And when they ask me how you dance, I say that you dance real close.
