(Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(C) / / /

(Verse 1)
My (C)heart was a dancer
(F) No, you don't need to know her name (C)
She could (C)turn right on a nickel
(C) And give you back four cents in change (G)
My (C)heart was a dancer
(F) She made her livin' on her toes (C)
And (C)what she ever saw in me
(G) Only God and Heaven knows (C)

(Chorus)
I used to (F)sit at my table
Just me and whiskey all a-(C)lone
(G)Watchin' my heart dance
And each night, I'd try to take her home (C)
(F)Others would try to show my heart
A better way to feel (C)
My (C)heart was a dancer
(G) Oh, heart, please just don't bе (C)still

(Verse 2)
(C)My heart was a dancer
(F) I'd love to see hеr dancin' now (C)
(C) Pretty and graceful
Still beatin' just for me some-(G)how
My (C)heart was a dancer
(F) Another lifetime ago (C)
(C)She was real for me
But (G)for the others, it was all just a show (C)
 
(Out-Chorus)
I used to sit (F) at my table
Just me and whiskey all alone (C)
(G)Watchin' my heart dance
And each night, I'd try to take her home (C)
(F)Others would try to show my heart
A better way to feel (C)
My (C)heart was a dancer
(G) Oh, heart, please don't be still (C)
My (C)heart was a dancer
(G) Oh, heart, please don't be still (C)
