 D#                    D#6 
Your coat and hat are gone
 D#maj7                       D#6          D#maj7 
I really can't look at your little empty shelf
Dm
A ragged teddy bear
F                Dm
It feels like we never had a chance
F
Don't look me in the eye
 D#                     D#6 
We lay in each other's arms
 D#maj7           D#6           D#maj7 
But the room is just an empty space
Dm
I guess we lived it out
F
Something in the air
Dm
We smile too fast
     F                         A#m
And can't think of a thing to say

Chorus:
   F 
Lived with the best times
G#             D#
Left with the worst
F#               F
Danced with you too long
F#               F
Nothing left to say
A#m                 F 
Let's take what we can
G#                       D#
I know you'll hold your head up high
F#                   F
We've raged for the last time
F#               F
A place of no return
                             A#
And there's something in the air
 Dm             Gm
Something in my eye
      F#              F      A#
I've danced with you too long
  Dm 
Yeah
                 Gm
Something in the air
F#            F   A#
Something in my eye

Abracadoo - I lose you
We can't avoid the clash, the big mistake
Now we're going to pay and pay
The sentence of our lives
Can't believe I'm asking you to go
We used what we could to get the things we want
But we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted
Anyone more than you

Chorus

A#                    Dm      Gm  F#  F
I've danced with you too long
A#               Dm      Gm  F#
Danced with you too long
F                A#
Danced with you too long
 Dm                          Gm
And there's something in the air
