G
When I was 14, I was fallin' fast
      C
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class
G
Tryin' to find the courage to ask her out
         C
Was like tryin' to oil from a water spout


[Pre-chorus 1]

D
What she would've said I can't say
  C
I never did ask then she moved away
    D
But I learned something from my blue-eyed girl
C                       D         G
Sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl


[Chorus]

G                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
D                   G
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Am                     C         D
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
C                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go


[Verse 2]

    G
The longer I live the more I believe
    C
You do have to give if you wanna receive
          G
There's a time to listen, a time to talk
        C
and you might have to crawl even after you walk


[Pre-chorus 2]

D
Had sure things blow up in my face
C
Seen the long shot win the race
D
Been knocked down by the slammin' door
C                       D         G
Picked myself up and came back for more


[Chorus]

G                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
D                   G
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Am                     C         D
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
C                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go


[Chorus] (key change up to A)

A                   E            A
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
E                   A
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Bm                     D         E
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
D                   E            A
Life's a dance, you learn as you go


A          D
Life's a dance
A          D
Life's a dance (Take a chance on love)
A          D
Life's a dance
    D            A
You learn as you go
