{intro} 
G5          C5         G5           D5 
Out on the floor the couples are swaying 
    G5         C5            G5         D5 
To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight 
    E5           C5             G5             D5 
You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing 
  G5            C5          D5        G5 
A slow country dance on a Saturday night 
  
  
G5              C5        G5           D5 
Sweethearts in love and others just lonely 
G5             C5          G5            D5 
Searching for someone to waltz with tonight 
     E5       C5       G5              D5 
In a smoky old bar you know that it's only 
  G5            C5          D5        G5     G5 
A slow country dance on a Saturday night 
  

    F5            C5       G5       D5 
And love's never easy or ever as true 
         F5           C5           G5         D5   D5 
When the changing of partners is no longer new 
    G5              C5          G5            D5 
You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes 
G5             C5        D5             G5 
Dance just to dance in three-quarter time 
G5  C5  D5  G5 
{instrumental} 
  
Down at the bar a woman tells stories 

Batting her eyes to someone not there 

Her glass is half full or maybe half empty 

Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear 
  
Now the perfume is cheap and the makeup is careless 

And the dress out of fashion for a woman her age 

But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish 

A much lighter step and a much younger face 
  
And love's never easy or ever as true 

When the changing of partners is no longer new 

You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes 

Dance just to dance in three-quarter time
