C#        G#                  F#
Somebody said you got a new friend
C#         G#                    F#
Does she love you better than I can?
          C#          G#         F#
There's a big black sky over my town
C#             G#                     F#
I know where you're at, I bet she's around

A#m      G#             F#
yeah, I know it's stupid
F#                            C#
I just gotta see it for myself

Chorus:
C#          G#                    F#
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh..
C#              G#                  F#
I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh..
A#m           G#                       F#
I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooohh..
A#m     G#           F#
I keep dancing on my own

I just wanna dance all night
And I’m all messed up, I’m so out of line, yeah

Stilettos and broken bottles
I’m spinning around in circles

Chorus:
And I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh oh oh
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh oh oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
And oh, nah

F#       G#
so far away but still so near
A#m            G#             F#
(the lights go on, the music dies)
F#              G#
but you don't see me standing here
A#m      G#              C#
(I just came to say goodbye)

Chorus:
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, oooh
I keep dancing on my own
And oh, nah
Said I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh​ no
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh no
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
And I keep dancing on my own

So far away, but still so near
The lights come on, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here
