Bm              D     G               D
She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Bm
Barely stuttered out
   D              G               D
A joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
Bm                 D       G    D
Weighed down with words too overdramatic
Bm                D
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
   G              D
Vs. "no one should ever feel like..."

Bm                      D
I'm two quarters and a heart down
      Bm                             D
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
Bm                                   D
These words are all I have so I'll write them
    G                         D
So you need them just to get by

Chorus:
Bm      D
Dance, Dance
G              F#
We're falling apart to half time
Bm      D
Dance, Dance
G                 F#                 Bm
And these are the lives you love to lead
         D          G          F#
Dance, this is the way they'd love
Bm                D      G    F#
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just
Before you're found out
Drink up, it's last call, last resort
But only the first mistake, and I

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (love)

Chorus

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress
(Mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you
Crawling into bed with me

Chorus

Dance, dance,
we're falling apart to half-time
Dance, dance,
and these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
(Way they'd love)
Dance, this is the way they'd love me
(Way they'd love)
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me...

Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
