 [Verse 1]
EHolding back tears, holding tight
Like if you lose your grip you might lose your life
C#mIt's a sad situation, but what you do, who sees you
BFix your hair, change your clothes
Rumor on the street, they want you to know
ATo be original, be yourself
But only if you don't outshine the rest
[Verse 2]
EYou got to fit in a mold, stuck in a hole
Princess of the hallways
From under this town, laying the ground
Since she was in sixth grade
C#mOwning the street, dragging her feet
But when she gets alone she's
Crying at night, empty inside
And never feels complete
BThe name of the game, money and fame
Getting more you won't need
ABut the lies of it all, they come and they fall
In the loneliness of a heartbeat
[Chorus]
ESo why don't you dance like nobody's watching
Even though everyone is
C#mAnd sing like you won't have a voice
If you hold it all in
BWave your flag of freedom just
Give up the fight
AWhy don't you dance like nobody's watching
Even though the spotlight's on you tonight
[Outro]
EOh-oh-oooh, oh-ooh, yeah
So I'm gonna C#mdance like nobody's watching
Even though the Gspotlight's on me Etonight

C#m

[Verse 1]

Holding back tears, holding tight

Like if you lose your grip you might lose your life

C#m

It's a sad situation, but what you do, who sees you

Fix your hair, change your clothes

Rumor on the street, they want you to know

To be original, be yourself

But only if you don't outshine the rest

[Verse 2]

You got to fit in a mold, stuck in a hole

Princess of the hallways

From under this town, laying the ground

Since she was in sixth grade

C#m

Owning the street, dragging her feet

But when she gets alone she's

Crying at night, empty inside

And never feels complete

The name of the game, money and fame

Getting more you won't need

But the lies of it all, they come and they fall

In the loneliness of a heartbeat

[Chorus]

So why don't you dance like nobody's watching

Even though everyone is

C#m

And sing like you won't have a voice

If you hold it all in

Wave your flag of freedom just

Give up the fight

Why don't you dance like nobody's watching

Even though the spotlight's on you tonight

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oooh, oh-ooh, yeah

C#m

So I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching

G E

Even though the spotlight's on me tonight
