Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][Csus2][D][G][Csus2][G]

[Verse 1]
He cut [D]a stun
ning figure on the dance floor.
The people came from [G]miles
and [Csus2]miles.[G]
[D]A graceful gait,
depthless execution:
He elevated [G]every style.
The [D]home town

[Verse 2]
daughters clutched
their heaving chests
When they [G]watched him turn
his pirouettes.
"Will you for[D]get us when
you're famous?"
He joined the touring
[G]company by and by...
And they [A]were crying that [Asus2]same day.
[A]The greatest liv[C]ing dancer; you lef[G]t

[Interlude 1]
no answer.
[D][G][Bm][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
He toured [D]the country and
he toured abroad.
You should have [G]heard the way
they would ap[Csus2]plaud.[G]
His [Csus2]reputa ti[D]on didn't just precede him;
It led the dancer [G]by his [Csus2]nose.[G]
But [D]they were faceless

[Verse 4]
watching
every show:
Another city and an[G]other standing O...
And the at[D]tention went to his head, yeah,
Not unlike Isad[G]ora.[Csus2]
[G]It made the places

[Verse 5]
[A]blend with things.
People [C]fall between them;
You [Csus2]never see[G] them fal[D]l.
Never see them [G]fall.
Never see them [D]fall.
Never see them fall.
[G]

[Verse 6]
A tragic [D]limited engagement:
He danced the tango Ar[G]gentine
[D]In front of millions of Brazilians:
A fall like they had [G]never seen,
or [Csus2]heard: A crash!
[G]And there was crying

[Verse 7]
[A]the[Asus2] same day.
The greatest [C]living [G]dancer: he never
danced [D]again.
Never dance [G]again.
Never dance [D]again.
Never dance [G]again.
Never dance [D]again.
Never dance [G]again.
Never dance [D]again.
Never dance again.
[G]

[Verse 8]
You got me [D]running out of time again.
You got me [G]running out of time again.
You got [D]me running out of time again.
You got me [G]running out of,
out of time [D]again.

[Verse 9]
[D]Never dance [G]again.
Never dance [D]again.
Never dance [G]again.

[Outro 1]
Never dance again.
