Your dancing days are over

The smile on your face will never hide your shame

Verse 2
Em
Oh how you danced
           B7
Oh how you sang
          G                     Asus2
There’s a feeling here that you began
           Em
Oh how you stood and stared
          B7
Held onto every breath
              G
It seemed the world stood still
              Asus2
Transfixed by every step

Bridge 2
C          G
Oh, let it go

Cos a lesser man would be your crowd
             C
Captivation, lesser men will tear you down


Chorus

Post chorus
Am
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name
C
The very crowd demand it's not to blame
Am
The demi man celebrates his pain
C
So glad to be with him through your pain


Middle 8
Em                B7
Old man sings his final song
G                    Asus2
And wonders where it all went wrong


Chorus x2

Am
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name

The demi man celebrates his pain

So glad to be with us through your pain
