Intro Verse:

D7         G           D7               G     D7Those who dance and romance while they dance --

G            Edim      Am7    They seem so happy and gay;

            Am               Am+7           Am7 Am6Though they sing while they swing and they sway,

A         Gdim  Cdim        D    D9  D7Somehow I can't feel that way.



           G           Cdim  Am7    G   G6I've been dancing with tears in my eyes,

  D7       G         Edim        Am7     D9 'Cause the boy in my arms wasn't you;

Am           Am+7      Am7   Am6Dancing with somebody new,

          D9           D7    Edim    GWhen it's you that my hearts calling to.

Am        Dm     Am        E7Trying to smile, once in a while,

    Am         Am+7        D    D7But I find that so hard to do.

Am7   D    G           Cdim  Am7    G    G/F#  E7I've been dancing with tears in my eyes,

           C         Cdim Am7   D7   G'Cause the boy in my arms was - n't you.
