Dance Away – Roxy Music C Am F G Yesterday, well it seemed so cool, when I walked you home, kissed goodnight, F G I said, “It’s love,” you said, “Alright,” C Am F G It’s funny how I could never cry, until tonight, and you passed by, F G F G Hand in hand with another guy, You’re dressed to kill and guess who’s dying? D Bm G A Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears, D Bm G A G Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears, dance away...... C Am F G F G Loneliness is a crowded room, full of open hearts turned to stone, all together, all alone, C Am F G All at once my whole world had changed, now I’m in the dark, off the wall, F G F G Let the strobe light up them all, I close my eyes and dance till dawn. D Bm G A Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears, D Bm G A G Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears, dance away...... C Am F G F G Now I know I must walk the line, until I find an open door, off the street onto the floor. C Am F G There was I many times a fool, I hope and pray but not too much, F G F G Out of reach is out of touch, all the way is far enough. D Bm G A Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears, D Bm G A G Dance away the heartache, dance away the tears, dance away......
