[Verse 1]
CIf silence is golden then we Dmust be Emrich
But the breath that we're holding's feeling BmcounterfCeit
The time that you've stolen shouldn't hDurt like tEmhis
But the tBmruth is
CAnd if silence is golden, here's our Dgolden yeEmars
So why am I choking up on Bmall these Ctears?
Words left unspoken shouldn't hDurt like tEmhis
But the trBmuth is
[Chorus]
CI'm sorry, what's your Dexcuse?
EmYou're dancing 'round the sBmubject
CTiptoe around the Dbad news
EmSomehow I think you Bmlove it
CBallеrina dressed in Dblack
EmI wanna scream but you got my Bmnеck
CI'm sorry, what's your Dexcuse?
EmYou're dancing 'round the sBmubject
[Post-Chorus]
C'Round and 'round and 'round and 'Dround
Em'Round and 'round and 'roundBm  
[Verse 2]
CAnd there's a bull in the ballroom, but you Dsay we're Emfine
While you're waving your red flags around Bmthe whole timCe
It isn't poetic, but I'm Dsick of lEmying
When the trBmuth is
CYou bend over backwards to step Don my Emtoes
Every moment that's mine, you go and Bmmake your oCwn
Don't try to deny it, 'cause I knDow you knEmow
What the trBmuth is
[Chorus]
CI'm sorry, what's your Dexcuse?
EmYou're dancing 'round the sBmubject
CTiptoe around the Dbad news
EmSomehow I think you Bmlove it
CBallеrina dressed in Dblack
EmI wanna scream but you got my Bmnеck
CI'm sorry, what's your Dexcuse?
EmYou're dancing 'round the sBmubject
[Bridge]
CThe lights are now on and the Dband's gone hEmome
We're spinning in circles so no Bmone would knCow
The song in your head ain't one I've Dheard befEmore
And you know what the tBmruth is
C   D   EmAnd you know what the trBmuth is
'CRound and 'round and 'round and 'Dround
'EmRound and 'round and 'round
(And you know what the tBmruth is)
'CRound and 'round and 'round and 'Dround
'Round and 'round and 'roundBm  
[Chorus]
CI'm sorry, what's your Dexcuse?
EmN.C.
You're dancing 'round the subject
CTiptoe around the Dbad news
EmSomehow I think you Bmlove it
CBallеrina dressed in Dblack
EmI wanna scream but you got my Bmnеck
CI'm sorry, what's your Dexcuse?
EmYou're dancing 'round the sBmubject
