//Intro//: Em C G -- Dsus 


Em                              C
As a kid they told me love was made up
G                                       Dsus4
But I used to tell them they were wrong
Em                                      C
'Cause the blue-eyed girl that made me wake up
G                               Dsus4
Stayed right by me in this song
Em                            C  (alternative pause)
I stood there counting every heartbeat
G                               Dsus4
Thinking about the words to say
Em                             C
Trying not to understand that feeling
G                 G
Would it ever go away?

    C              G
Now those were the days
           Em         A
Before you had to go away
        C           G                D
Now I'm dancing by myself out in the ra-a-a-a-in
         C              G
Now it's getting rather cold
           Em            A            
And I just wanted you to know
           C                G
That if my dreams will ever be
              D              
Will you come dancing next to me
        
Next to me

(x4) Em C G D (x4) 

Em                       C
You told me we would be forever
G                               Dsus4
But maybe we were just too young
Em                    C
I wonder if you still remember
G                           G
When we were dancing in the sun

    C              G
Now those were the days
           Em         A
Before you had to go away
        C           G               Dsus4
Now I'm dancing by myself out in the ra-a-a-a-in
         C              G
Now it's getting rather cold
           Em            A            
And I just wanted you to know
           C                G
That if my dreams will ever be
              D              
Will you come dancing next to me
