[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] With a trio [Bbm] [Ab] placed on [Eb] stage
A [Db] spotlight [Bbm]
on [Ab] an old hands [Eb] face
[Ab] As he talks about his life
[Eb] [Db] He keeps [Bbm] drifting [Eb] away
[Ab] I [Cm] once [Fm] was a clown, [Eb] [Db] a poet [Bb]
[Ab] and a [E] lady's dream
But [Ab] this [Eb] dance [Fm] I [Eb] dance [Ab] [Db] is a [Bbm] dance [Eb] that is new [Ab] to [Db] me
[Ab] I [Eb]
[Ab] once gave my heart [Eb] [Db] to a [Bbm] part [Ab] I played [Eb] twenty [Ab] years
I [Bbm] watched the [Ab] lights go [Eb] out [Db] at the [Bbm] last [Eb] curtain call
[Ab] No [Eb] one wants [Fm] to see [Eb] an [Db] old [Bb] man play [Ab] a young [E] man's part
But [Ab] this [Cm] dance [Fm] I [Ebm] dance [Bbm] is a dance that is new [Eb] [Ab] to
[Db] [Ab] me
Nothing [F]
[Fm] [Ab] ever [Cm] changes, [Fm] I'm frightened [Cm] of a fall
[Ab] And I would [Gb] just spend every [Ebm] [E] day waiting for [Eb] one phone call
[Ab] There [Bbm] were [Ab] times in my life [Eb] when [Db] I stood [Bbm] by [Ab] the [Eb] water's edge
[Ab] Looking out on my plans [Eb] that would [Bbm] never [Eb] come true
[Ab] I could [Eb]
play [Fm] one [Eb] part [Db] where [Bb] I'd be [Ab] the only [E] star
[Ab] But this [Cm] dance [Fm] I [Ab] dance [Bbm] is a dance that is new [Eb]
to [Ab] me
[Db] [Ab]
[Fm] Nothing [Cm] ever changes, [Fm] I'm frightened of [Cm] a fall
[Ab] And [Abm] I [Gb] would just spend every day [E]
[Dbm] waiting for [Eb] that phone call
[Ab] Now I sit here with my pint [Eb] and I [Db] carefully [Bbm] [Ab] write every [Eb] line
[Ab] For the joy he brought me
[Eb] And [Db] [Bbm] I [Eb] was bored
[Ab] Two [Cm] hours [Fm] every day [Eb] for [Fm]
[Db] two [D] whole weeks [Ab] on [E] Blackpool
And [Ab] this [Eb] dance he [Fm] [Ab] danced [Bbm] was a dance [Eb] always new [Ab] to me
