Life's a Dance - John Michael Montgomery

Capo At 3rd Fret!!!

verse 1
G
When I was 14, I was fallin' fast
      C
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class
G
Tryin' to find the courage to ask her out
         C
Was like tryin' to oil from a water spout


Bridge 1
D
What you can say that I can't say
C
I never did ask and she moved away
D
But I learned something from my blue-eyed girl
C                       D         G
Sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl


Chorus
G                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
D                   G
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
C                     D
Don't worry bout what you don't know
C                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go

Verse 2
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

Bridge 2
Yeah, sure things blow up in my face (Lyrics???)
Seen them all try to win the race
Been knocked down by the slammin' door
Picked myself up and came back for more

Chorus

[Then the song kicks up -->
either capo at 5 or
G becomes A
C --> D
D --> E]

Repeat chorus

G(A)     C(D)
Life's a dance
Life's a dance
You learn as you go
