_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Out [D] on the floor [A] the couples [E] are swaying [A] to one [D] fated love [A] on the jukebox [E] tonight
_ [F#m] You slide in [D] your coils [A] and the music [E] keeps playing
[C#m] A slow [D] country dance [E] on a Saturday [A] _
night _ _ _ _
_ [D] Sweethearts in love [A] and others [E] just lonely
_ [A] _
_ [D] Searching for [A] someone to waltz [E] with tonight
[F#m] In a smoky [D] old bar [A] you know that [E] it's only
[C#m] A slow [D] country dance [E] on a Saturday [A] _ _ night
_ [G] And love's [D] never easy [A] or ever [E] as new
[G] When the changing [D] of partners [A] is no [E] longer new
_ _ _ [A] You lead with [D] your heart [A] and closing [E] your eyes
[A] _
Dance [D] just to dance [E] in three quarter [A] _ time _

_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Down [D] at the bar [A] a woman tells [E] _
stories
[A] _ Batting [D] her eyes [A] to someone [E] not there
[F#m] Her glass is [D]
half full [A] or maybe [E] half empty
[C#m] Like the jokes [D] told about her [E] when they think she [A] can't hear
_ _ [F#m] And [A] now the perfume [D] is cheap [A] and the makeup is [E] careless
[A] And the dress [D] out of fashion [A] for a woman her [E] age
[F#m] But she don't [D] give a damn [A] for those who [E] would cherish
[C#m] A much lighter [D] step [E] and a [F#] much [A] younger face _
_ [G] And love's [D] never easy [A] or ever [E] as new
[G] When the changing [D] of partners [A] is no [E] longer new
_ _ _ [A] You lead with [D] your heart [A] and closing [E] your eyes
[A] _
Dance [D] just to dance [E] in three quarter [A] _ time _
