Intro -x2-: Dm  Gm  Bb  A  C

Verse:
Dm            Gm
I feel so unsure 
     Bb
As I take your hand
             A            C
And lead you to the dance floor 
Dm
  As the music dies
Gm
  Something in your eyes 
Bb
Calls to mind a silver screen 
    A               C
And all its sad goodbyes

Chorus:
Dm
  I'm never gonna dance again 
      Gm
These guilty feet have got no rhythm 
Bb
  Though it's easy to pretend 
  A                    C
I know you're not a fool 
  Dm
I should've known better than to cheat a friend 
    Gm 
And waste the chance that I'd been given 
Bb 
  So I'm never gonna dance again 
    A                   C
The way I danced with you
Dm     Gm      Bb  A  C
   Ohh-ohh

Verse:
Dm                Gm
Time can never mend 
    Bb
The careless whispers
A         C
Of a good friend 
Dm
  To the heart and mind 
Gm
  Ignorance is kind 
Bb
There's no comfort in the truth 
A                  C
Pain is all you'll find.

Chorus:
Dm
  I'm never gonna dance again 
      Gm
These guilty feet have got no rhythm 
Bb
  Though it's easy to pretend 
  A                    C
I know you're not a fool 
  Dm
I should've known better than to cheat a friend 
    Gm 
And waste the chance that I'd been given 
Bb 
  So I'm never gonna dance again 
    A                   C
The way I danced with you
Dm     Gm      Bb  A  C
   Ohh-ohh

Bridge:
  Dm
Tonight the music seems so loud 
  Gm
I wish that we could lose this crowd 
Bb
Maybe it's better this way 
     A                                          C
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd wanna say 
   Dm
We could have been so good together 
   Gm
We could have lived this dance forever 
    Bb
But now who's gonna dance with me?
A  C      Dm
   Please stay!

Chorus:

I'm never gonna dance again 
      Gm
These guilty feet have got no rhythm 
Bb
  Though it's easy to pretend 
  A                    C
I know you're not a fool 
  Dm
I should've known better than to cheat a friend 
    Gm 
And waste the chance that I'd been given 
Bb 
  So I'm never gonna dance again 
    A                   C
The way I danced with you
Dm     Gm      Bb  A  C
   Ohh-ohh

Outro -repeat-:
Dm
   Ohh-ohh
Gm
   Ohh-ohh
Bb
   Ohh-ohh

If you have a hard time with Bb you can try F and instead of using C I use Am. Just flows better in my opinion.

This is super great. I wish this site would tell about the strum pattern, but even so. Very helpful. Absolutely love this song.

Thanks for posting! Also, thanks for the comment about the C chord. After giving it a few go’s, I’m working out where to skip it and go directly from A to Dm.

Jordan Kucharski

Surprised no ones pointed out instead of finishing with A C or am(which is just plain wrong) go A A7. A is the 5th of D so the A7 leads smooth back into the dm

grace

+2 is easy and sounds good

I so love this song lots of feeling, I am enjoying playing again,

Thanks John

Replacing A and C with Am is closer to how it was originally written and IMO sounds better.

kiwii

Do dm7 if you can instead of dm, gm7 instead of gm and
switch a and c for bbmaj7 (3-2-1-0) and am7 (0-0-0-0). Trust me, MUCH better

PinkFlamingo

try dm> g7> cmaj7> a. It sounds different but slightly better than the original and also allows the hand to flow between chords.

Biography

George Michael (born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963 in East Finchley, London, England died on December 25, 2016 in Goring Oxfordshire, England) was an English pop musician of English/Greek Cypriot ancestry. Michael began his career by forming a band called The Executive together with his best friend Andrew Ridgeley, a fellow pupil at Bushey Meads School, though it did not survive for long.

It wasn’t until he formed the duo Wham!, working together again with Ridgeley, in 1981 that he achieved success.
