Do you still keep paper flowers in the bottom drawer with your Belgian lace 
            F/A                         Dsus4        Dm 
Taking them out every year to watch the colours fade away? 
       Bbsus2           F/A             Eb/G         Eb 
Do you still believe in fairy tales, in battlements of shining castles 
Dm            C/D          Dm 
Safe from the dragons that lie beneath the hill? 
        Bbsus2          F/A      Csus4/G      F 
Are you still a Russian princess rescued by a gypsy dancer

To anyone who'll listen is that a story you still tell? 
    Bbsus2         F/A           Eb/G  Eb 
You live a life of fantasy, your diary romantic fiction 
Bb                 C/Bb                 Bb                       C C7 
Can't you see it's hard for me, can you see what I am trying to say? 
       F                                Am 
It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take one step to the side 
        Bb                                F 
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing? 
    C/E   Dm                /C          Bb 
For every one step forward we're taking two steps back 
         Bb      F/A       Csus4/G  C 
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?

           Bb/C                     C 
I know you still like old fashioned waltzes 
                       Bb/C                              C 
Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with as you glide across the floor 
          Bb/D                    C/D 
But if I told you the music's over would you want to hear 
          Bb/D                            C/D 
That your dance card is empty that there's no-one really there? 
       Bbsus2           F/A                         Csus4/G 
Do you still believe in Santa Claus, that there's a millionaire 
F                Bbsus2            F/A                      Dsus4       Dm 
Looking for your front door with a key to a life that you'd never understand? 
Bbsus2         F/A          Eb/G                        Eb 
All I have to offer is the love that I have, it's freely given 
Bb             C/Bb           Bb                    C C7 
You'll see its value when you see what I've tried to say 
       F                                 Am 
It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take one step to the side

Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?

For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back 
        Bb      F/A        Csus4/G    C        Dm 
Can you get it inside your head that from this one step forward 
           Bb 
There's no turning back? 
        Bb     F/A         Csus4/G   C          Dsus4 Dm Dsus4 Dm 
Can you get it inside your head I'm tired of dancing?

We're finished dancing
