[Verse 1]
  D
Thanks for the dance
      G           D
I'm sorry you're tired
      A                 D
The evening has hardly begun
  D
Thanks for the dance
 G             D
Try to look inspired
 A                            D
One two three, one two three one
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           A
There's a rose in your hair
        D
Your shoulders are bare
              Bm            A      G       Gm
You've been wearing this costume forever
 
[Chorus]
    D
So turn up the music
 G
Pour out the wine
 E7
Stop at the surface
      Gm
The surface is fine
    A6           G6       D
We don't need to go any deeper
 
[Verse 2]
  D
Thanks for the dance
   G                 D
I hear that we're married
 A                            D
One two three, one two three one
  D
Thanks for the dance
         G         D
And the baby you carried
         A                     D
It was almost a daughter or a son
 
[Pre-Chorus]
               A
And there's nothing to do
         D
But to wonder if you
          Bm       A
Are as hopeless as me
         G     Gm
And as decent
 
[Chorus]
        D
We're joined in the spirit
  G
Joined at the hip
  E7
Joined in the panic
  Gm
Wondering if
       A6           G6
We've come to some sort
      D        A
Of agreement
 
[Interlude]
 
 D                A  A7  D
Dum Dum Dah-Dum
 D                A  A7  D
Dum Dum Dah-Dum
 
[Verse 3]
 
It was fine it was fast
          D
We were first we were last
    Bm           A          G      Gm
In line at the Temple of Pleasure
          D
But the green was so green
         G
And the blue was so blue
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E7
I was so I
    Gm
And you were so you
      A         G6
The crisis was light
       D      A  A7
As a feather
 
[Chorus]
  D
Thanks for the dance
        A            A7
It was hell, it was swell
        D
It was fun
  D
Thanks for all the dances
 A              A7            D
One two three, one two three one
 
[Outro]
 
 D                A  A7  D
Dum Dum Dah-Dum
 D                A  A7  D
Dum Dum Dah-Dum
