The careless whispers, of a good friend
 Dm                (riff.1)Bb
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
  Bbmaj7
There's no comfort in the truth
 Am7            (riff.2)
Pain is all you'll find

Dm--- | Bb | Bbmaj7 | Am7 |

  Dm                     Bb  Bbmaj7 | Am7
Should've known better, yeah

    “Dm”                         “Bb”             “Bbmaj7”    “Am7”        _2x_
Dm         Bb
I feel so unsure
      Bbmaj7                     Am7
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
Dm                Bb
As the music dies, something in your eyes
 Bbmaj7
Calls to mind a silver screen
    Am7
And all its sad good-byes

Dm                         C
I'm never gonna dance again
 Bb
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
  Bbmaj7
Though it's easy to pretend
    Am7
I know your not a fool
  Dm                                          C
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
     Bb
And waste the chance that I'd been given
Bbmaj7
So I'm never gonna dance again
     Am7
The way I danced with you

Dm             Bb
Time can never mend
     Bbmaj7             Am7
The careless whispers, of a good friend
 Dm                (riff.1)Bb
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
  Bbmaj7
There's no comfort in the truth
 Am7            (riff.2) Dm---
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

    “Dm”                         “Bb”             “Bbmaj7”    “Am7”        _2x_

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

 Dm              Bb
Now that you're gone
                 Bbmaj7 Am7
Now that you're gone
 Dm              Bb
Now that you're gone
                              Bbmaj7
Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
                 Am7
That you had to leave me alone

Outro: Dm| Bb | Bbmaj7 | Am7 | 4x
