Do you still keep paper flowers in the bottom drawer with your Belgian lace
            F5                         D5        D5
Taking them out every year to watch the colours fade away?
       Bb5           F5             Eb5         Eb5
Do you still believe in fairy tales, in battlements of shining castles
D5            C5          D5
Safe from the dragons that lie beneath the hill?
        Bb5          F5      C5      F5
Are you still a Russian princess rescued by a gypsy dancer
Bb5           F5              D5           D5
To anyone who'll listen is that a story you still tell?
    Bb5         F5           Eb5  Eb5
You live a life of fantasy, your diary romantic fiction
Bb5                 C5                 Bb5                       C5 C5
Can't you see it's hard for me, can you see what I am trying to say?
       F5                                A5
It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take one step to the side
        Bb5                                F5
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?
    C5   D5                /C5          Bb5
For every one step forward we're taking two steps back
         Bb5      F5       C5  C5
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?

           Bb5                     C5
I know you still like old fashioned waltzes
                       Bb5                              C5
Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with as you glide across the floor
          Bb5                    C5
But if I told you the music's over would you want to hear
          Bb5                            C5
That your dance card is empty that there's no-one really there?
       Bb5           F5                         C5
Do you still believe in Santa Claus, that there's a millionaire
F5                Bb5            F5                      D5       D5
Looking for your front door with a key to a life that you'd never understand?
Bb5         F5          Eb5                        Eb5
All I have to offer is the love that I have, it's freely given
Bb5             C5           Bb5                    C5 C5
You'll see its value when you see what I've tried to say
       F5                                 A5
It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take one step to the side
        Bb5                          F5
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?
    C5   D5                          Bb5
For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back
        Bb5      F5        C5    C5        D5
Can you get it inside your head that from this one step forward
           Bb5
There's no turning back?
        Bb5     F5         C5   C5          D5 D5 D5 D5
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?
