Verse 1:
 E        G#       A               E                     G#   A   E
And if I said, I never thought of you, Well that'd be a lie.
    E         G#       A             E                   G#   A   Am
An old photograph that I don't even have, I think of it now.

Chorus:
    C#m             B         A          E
And I thought we'd meet up in a week or two
    C#m             B         A            E
And we'd slow-dance to Patsy Cline at the bar
    C#m             [ch]G#/C[/ch]  A  E
But now that you're gone
    [ch]G#/C[/ch]     C#m    E
My life goes on.


Repeat first half of intro (i.e., once through the C#m-B-A-E progression)


Verse 2:
     E          G#              A            E                      G#       A    E
If someone had said that this feeling would end, oh would you have heard them?
     E          G#              A            E                      G#         A    Am
If someone had said that this feeling would end, would you have believed them?


Chorus:
C#m             B         A          E
I thought we'd meet up in a week or two
    C#m             B         A            E
And we'd slow-dance to Patsy Cline at the bar
    C#m             [ch]G#/C[/ch]  A  E
But now that you're gone
    [ch]G#/C[/ch]     C#m    E
My life goes on.


Interlude:
  [ch]G#/C[/ch]   C#m       G#         A    Am       E
I know I said I'd save this last dance for you
         [ch]G#/C[/ch]          C#m    [ch]G#/C[/ch]           A   Am        E
So even though that Tenessee Waltz makes me cry, cry every time
                [ch]G#/C[/ch]            C#m       [ch]G#/C[/ch]            A   
Well all go on dancing, I will dance this last dance for you,
      Am         E
This last dance for you


Chorus:
    C#m             B         A          E
And I thought we'd meet up in a week or two
    C#m             B         A            E
And we'd slow-dance to Patsy Cline at the bar
    C#m             [ch]G#/C[/ch]  A  E
But now that you're gone
    [ch]G#/C[/ch]     C#m    E
My life goes on.
    C#m             [ch]G#/C[/ch]  A  E
And now that you're gone
    [ch]G#/C[/ch]     C#m    E
My life goes on.
