Verse 1
(D major) I used (C major) (D major) (C major)
(D major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) to know a baller (D major) ina
She (C major) could dance from her head to her (D major) toes
She (C major) came to me and said I
could love you long
Sometimes we whispered each
other's name (G major) out loud (D major) (G major)
She (C major) said I could never (D major) be
Tired (C major) of being anybody's (D major) fool
And (C major) we would linger in each other's arms
In the evening when the night
(G major) s got cool (E minor) (G major)
She (C major) turned from me to an (D major) other man,
who said (C major) devoted she must (D major) be
And the price (C major) he paid for
her accepting that,
was to follow every order she
(G major) would speak (E minor) (G major)
Soon (C major) he was dancing to
(D major) her every line,
(C major) sampled every song and (D major) every taste
He (C major) would tell her how she danced so well
But he would do the dancing
in (G major) her place (E minor) (G major)
Oh, ballerin (D major) a,
why don't you dance (C major) with me? (D major)
Ballerina, darling, (C major) can't you see?
The moon and the stars are mov (D major) ing over
To make (G major) room for you to shine
(C major) You were so beautiful,
when you were all (G major) I liked (E minor) (G major)
I (C major) wished her well and
they went (D major) off to marry
They (C major) moved to some pleas (D major) ant town
I (C major) hear he's making a living
doing tax accounts
She dances when the weekends
come (G major) around (E minor) (G major)
I (C major) saw the ballerina in a (D major) dream last night,
(C major) a butterfly who folded (D major) up her wings
Crying (C major) for the beauty she'd left behind,
she was crying for so (G major) many things (E minor) (G major)
(D major) Well, (G major) ballerin (D major) a,
why don't you (C major) dance with me
Ballerin (D major) a, darling, (C major) can't you see
The moon and the stars are mov (D major) ing over
to (G major) make room for you to shine
(C major) You were so beautiful when you were all
(G major) alive (E minor) (G major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (D major)
(C major) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Yes, (C major) I knew a ballerina
(D major) Everybody (C major) said she seemed (D major) to fly
An (C major) d when the music stopped
she reached for somebody
Who'd keep on telling her
(G major) those lies (E minor) (G major) (D major) (G major)
And (C major) ballerinas come and (D major) dancers go
I (C major) think about her every now (D major) and then
And (C major) I will dance again with you I know
But I don't need no ballerin
(G major) a again (E minor) (G major)
Valerie, (D major) why don't you
(C major) dance with me?
Valerie, (D major) darling, (C major) can't you see?
The moon and the stars are mov (D major) ing over
to make (G major) room for you
You were (C major) so beautiful when
you were alive (G major)
(D major) Valeria, why don't you (C major) dance with me?
Valeri (D major) a, darling, (C major) can't you see?
The moon and the stars are mov (D major) ing over
to (G major) make room for you to shine
(C major) You were so beautiful
when you were alive
(G major) You were so beau (C major) tiful
when you were not (G major) alive (E minor) (G major) (D major)
