Ab
The newer ones on the radio play in the long run
  Eb                      Bb
Depends upon three things: intelligent listening
                         Gm
Informed criticism, and good writing for microphones


[Verse 1]
Ab                    Eb
  I wrote a happy song, I tried to sing along
Bb                                 Gm
  But I was faking it, yeah, I was faking it
Ab                     Eb
  I put some make-up on to turn myself on
Bb                                Gm
  But I was faking it, I'm really good at it


[Pre-Chorus]
    Ab  Eb
And oh
     Bb
It's killing me, killing me
                          Gm
(It's killing me, killing me)


[Chorus]
Ab                      Eb
  Don't wanna be sad anymore, can I get ten minutes?
Bb                                                    Gm
  Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
Ab                      Eb
  Don't wanna be sad anymore, can I get ten minutes?
Bb                                                    Gm
  Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
      Ab                    Eb
These leaves keep on falling, but I like the touch
Bb                                   Gm
  Give me a moment to worry about my face


[Post-Chorus]
Ab                      Eb
  Don't wanna be sad anymore, can I get ten minutes?
Bb                                                    Gm
  Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor


[Verse 2]
Ab                    Eb
  I dragged myself out, just so I could get out
Bb                    N.C.
  But I regret it now, yeah, I regret it now
Ab                     Eb
  'Cause everybody here is smiling ear to ear
Bb                                   Gm
  I tried to play along, but it just feels so wrong


[Pre-Chorus]
    Ab  Eb
And oh
     Bb
It's killing me, killing me
                          Gm
(It's killing me, killing me)


[Chorus]
Ab                      Eb
  Don't wanna be sad anymore, can I get ten minutes?
Bb                                                    Gm
  Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
Ab                      Eb
  Don't wanna be sad anymore, can I get ten minutes?
Bb                                                    Gm
  Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
      Ab                    Eb
These leaves keep on falling, but I like the touch
Bb                                   Gm
  Give me a moment to worry about my face


[Post-Chorus]
Ab                      Eb
  Don't wanna be sad anymore, can I get ten minutes?
Bb                                                    Gm
  Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
Ab                      Eb
  Don't wanna be sad anymore, can I get ten minutes?
Bb                                                    Gm
  Don't wanna keep dwelling in it, ten minutes on the dance floor
