Verse 1 
Em               B7 
Young man with a stone to throw 
G                      Asus2 
Take a breath and just let it go 
Em               B7 
Angry man with a cross to bare 
G                      Asus2 
Now you seem life just isn?t fair

C          G 
Oh, let it go 
Am 
Cos, you wake up in happy days 
 
Face the music 
C 
In your eyes you?ve made your bed 
 
Chorus 
 
G                    D 
Read what the papers say 
                      C 
Your dancing days are over 
 
The smile on your face will never hide your shame 
G                          D 
You can?t escape what they say 
C 
Your dancing days are over 
                                             Em B7 G Asus2 
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name 
 
Verse 2 
Em 
Oh how you danced 
           B7 
Oh how you sang 
          G                     Asus2 
There?s a feeling here that you began 
           Em 
Oh how you stood and stared 
          B7 
Held onto every breath 
              G 
It seemed the world stood still 
              Asus2 
Transfixed by every step

C          G

Captivation, lesser men will tear you down 
 
Chorus 
 
Post Chorus 
Am 
The ghosts you see are shouting out your name 
C 
The very crowd demand it's not to blame 
Am 
The demi man celebrates his pain 
C 
So glad to be with him through your pain 
 
 
Middle 8 
Em                B7

And wonders where it all went wrong
