Capo 3rd Fret (to match recording) 

Intro: (G) (G/F#) (Em7) (G/D) (Cadd9)

When (G) I was fourteen I was fallin' fast
For a (Csus2) blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class.
(G) Tryin to find the courage to ask her out
Was like (Csus2) tryin' to get oil from a water spout.
(D) What she would've said, I can't say.
I (Cadd9) never did ask then she moved away.
(D) I learned something from my blue-eyed girl
(Cadd9) Sink or swim, you gotta (D) give it a (G) whirl.

  (G) Life's a dance, you (D7) learn as you (G) go.
  (D) Sometimes you lead, some(G)times you follow.
  (Am7) Don't worry 'bout what (C) you don't (D) know,
  (C) Life's a dance, you (D) learn as you (G) go.

(G) (G/F#) (Em7) (G/D) (Cadd9)

The longer I live the more I believe
You do have to give if you wanna receive.
There's a time to listen, a time to talk.
And you might have to crawl even after you walk.
Had sure things blow up in my face,
Seen the longshot win the race.
Been knocked down by the slammin' door.
Picked myself up and came back for more.

  (G) Life's a dance, you (D7) learn as you (G) go.
  (D) Sometimes you lead, some(G)times you follow.
  (Am7) Don't worry 'bout what (C) you don't (D) know,
  (C) Life's a dance, you (D) learn as you (G) go.
