C
We both sat there in denial
F
I was miles away
Am
You dusted off your old flats
G
And you practiced your plies
C F
Blank stares across an empty vacuum of stubbornness and vanity
Am F
Instead of saying what you really mean
G
You just dance away from me
F G
I know your shadows
Am F Am G
I'm engrossed in silhouette
C G Am F Am G
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette
C F
Cold breezes and colder shoulders to make this night complete
Am
Do I dare drag my feet
F
Dare to sleep alone?
G
Will you keep dancing to the beat?
F G
I know your shadows
Am F Am G
I'm engrossed in silhouette
C G Am F Am G
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette
F G
Yeah ay yeah
Am G
Yeah ay yeah
F G
Yeah ay yeah
C
Yeah ay yeah
F
I will scream it from the rooftop
G
Get this out of me
F G
And bellow out of key
F
I'm too tired
G Am G
And now I just want to fall asleep
But you just dance away from me
F G
I know your shadows
Am F Am G
I'm engrossed in silhouette
C G Am F Am G
You know just how that dance goes, my Queen of Pirouette
