D
I know it’s a bad idea
A/C#
But how can I help myself
Bm
Been inside for most this year
G                                      D
And I thought a few drinks they might help
D
It’s been a while my dear
A/C#
Dealing with the cards life dealt
Bm
I’m still holding back these tears
G
While my friends are somewhere else

D                                  A/C#
I pictured this year a little bit different
when it hit February
Bm                               G
I step in the bar, it hit me so hard
Oh how can it be this heavy?
D                             A/C#
Every song reminds me you’re gone
                             Bm
And I feel the lump form in my throat
                G
‘Coz I’m here alone

Chorus:
                     D           A/C#
Just dancing with my eyes closed
                    Bm                G
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
                D     A/C#
Time is moving so slow
                      Bm               G
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I keep dancing with my

D
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
A/C#                 Bm
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
G
So I keep dancing with my

Delusion is here again
And I think you'll come home soon
A word brings me right back in
Then it's only me that's in this room
I guess I could just pretend
The colours are more than blue
But I lost more than my friend
I can't help but missin' you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I pictured this month a little bit different,
no one is ever ready
And when it unfolds, you get in a hole,
oh, how can it be this heavy?
Everything changes, nothing's the same,
except the truth is now you're gone
And life just goes on

Chorus:
So I'm dancin' with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
And time is movin' so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancin' with my

Eye-eye-eye-eyes
A/C#                Bm
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
G
So I keep dancing with my
D
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
A/C#                Bm
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
G
Oh, I keep dancing with my

D
They’re shutting the bar
                     A/C#
They’re cleaning the floor
                        Bm
And everyone is already home
              G
But I’m on my own

Chorus:
Still dancin' with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
And time is movin' so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancin' with my

Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancin' with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancin' with my
