Capo: 5
Verse 1 (dwoht)
[Cmaj7]I, I loved you in secret
[Em]First sight, yeah, [G/D]we love without reason
[Cmaj7]Oh, twenty-five years old
[Em]Oh, how were [G/D]you to know, and
[Cmaj7]My, my love had been frozen
[Em]Deep blue, but you [G/D]painted me golden
[Cmaj7]Oh, and you held me close
[Em]Oh, how was [G/D]I to know that
Pre-chorus (dwoht)
[Cmaj7]I could've spent
forever with your hands in my pockets
[Em]Picture of your face in an [G/D]invisible locket
[Cmaj7]You said there was nothing in
the world that could stop it
I had a[Em] bad feeling [G/D]
And darling, [Cmaj7] you had turned
my bed into a sacred oasis
[Em]People started talking, putting [G/D]us through our paces
[Cmaj7] I knew there was no one in
the world who could take it
I had a[Em] bad feeling [G/D]
Chorus (dwoht -> cp)
But we were [Cmaj7]dancing
Dancing with our[Em] hands tied, [G/D]hands tied
Yeah, we were [Cmaj7]dancing
Like it was the[Em] first time, [G/D]first time
Yeah, we were [Cmaj7]dancing
Dancing with our [Em]hands tied, [G/D]hands tied
Yeah, we were [Cmaj7]dancing
And I had a[Em] bad feeling...[G/D]
[Cmaj7] [G] [D] [Em] [C]
[G] You dropped my hand while [D]dancing
Left me out there [Em]standing
Crestfallen on the landing
[C]Champagne problems
[G] Your mom's ring in your [D]pocket
My picture in your [Em]wallet
My heart was glass, you dropped it
[C]Champagne problems
Interlude (cp)
[G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [Em] [C]
Bridge (cp)
[G] Your Midas touch on the Chevy [D]door
November flush and your flannel [Em]cure
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
I [C]made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"
[G]How evergreen, our group of [D]friends
Don't think we'll say that word [Em]again
And soon they'll have the nerve to [C]deck the halls
That we once walked through
[G]One for the money, two for the show
I [D]never was ready so I watch you go
[Em]Sometimes you just don't know the answer
'Til [C]someone's on their knees and asks you
"She [G]would've made such a lovely bride
What a [D]shame she's fucked in the head," they said
But [Em]i'll find the real thing instead
And [C]patch up the tapestry that you shred
Chorus (cp -> dwoht)
[G] And hold my hand while [D]dancing
Never leave me [Em]standing
Crestfallen on the [C]landing
Oh, kiss me as the lights went [Em7]out
[G/D]Sway as the room burns [Cmaj7]down
Oh, hold me as the water [Em7]rushes in [G/D]
But I would dance with [Cmaj7]you again
I'd kiss you as the lights went [Em7]out
[G/D]Swaying as the room burned [Cmaj7]down
I'd hold you as the water [Em7]rushes in [G/D]
If I could dance with [Cmaj7]you again
Outro (dwoht)
Dancing with our [G]hands tied, [G/D]hands tied
Yeah, we were [Cmaj7]dancing
Like it was the [G]first time, [G/D]first time
Yeah, we were [Cmaj7]dancing
Dancing with our [Em7]hands tied, [G/D]hands tied
Yeah, we were [Cmaj7]dancing
And I had a [Em7]bad feeling [G/D]
But we were [Cmaj7]dancing.
