G                   C
Same dances in the same old shoes
G                     C
Some habits that you just can't lose
Am                         G
There's no telling what a man might use
Am                   G
After the thrill is gone

The flame rises but it soon descends
Empty pages and a frozen pen
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends
After the thrill is gone, oh
After the thrill is gone

Chorus:
 Em                         Bm
What can you do when your dreams come true
         Am                   G
and it's not quite like you planned
 Em                       Bm
What have you done to be losing the one,
     Cm                       D
you held it so tight in your hand, well

Time passes and you must move on
Half the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song
After the thrill is gone
After the thrill is gone

Chorus:
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion
And you're feeling cold and small
Any kind of love without passion
That ain't no kind of loving at all, well

Same dances in the same old shoes
You get too careful with the steps you choose
You don't care about winning
but you don't want to lose
After the thrill is gone
After the thrill is gone
After the thrill is gone, oh
After the thrill is gone
