 Capo on 4th fret
(The original key F# major is inconvenient for guitar, so I suggest capo here.)

D           A                        G
  Somebody said you got a new friend
  Does she love you better than I can?
  There's a big black sky over my town
  I know where you're at, I bet she's around
Bm          A             G
  Yeah, I know it's stupid, I just gotta see it for myself


D                 A              G
  I'm just gonna dance all night
  I'm all messed up, I'm so outta line
Bm               A           G
  Stilettos on broken bottles, I'm spinning around in circles

D             Asus4
  I'm in the corner
                Gmaj7
  watching you kiss her - oh
D                 Asus4
  I'm right over here
                  Gmaj7
  Why can't you see me? - oh
Bm               A
  I'm giving it my all
                   Gmaj9
  but I'm not the girl you're taking home
   Bm7         A              Gmaj7
  ooh - I keep dancing on my own (I keep dancing on my own)




BRIDGE:

G           A                G                  A
  So far away, but still so near (The lights go on, the music dies)
G                A               G            A
  But you don't see me standing here (I just came) to say goodbye
