[Verse 1]
AmYou say the Gmolder I get
Fthe better I Dmwas
EmTruth Afrom a distance, but I Fstill don't measure Ebup
AmI thought I could Gmhandle my words Fto your degDmree
They keep Emfalling Aout of me like Frose petals at the Ebscene
[Pre-Chorus]
AFate won't change, it Dknows me by Gname
Gm6It calls and says
A"Sell your soul to Dtry"
"UnderGstand it aGm6ll"
[Chorus]
FIn the light of The BbMagic Hour
EmEverything just seems to just Em7slow right down
FThe more I know, The Dmless I know
(And they're Emstill Adancing)
FThe more I know, The Dmless I know
(And they're Emstill Adancing)
FDon't know where I'm Dmgoing like I'm alone
(And they're Emstill Edancing)
[Verse 2]
AmI met a Gmnormal man FundergroDmund
He had Emnothing to Acare about
FYou're the dark skip to the tEbop
AmBeaten up Gmby the world, FI gotta saDmy
There's a Emfaded Aquarry Flivin' on my Ebface
[Pre-Chorus]
AFate won't change, it Dknows me by Gname
Gm6It calls and says
A"Sell your soul to Dtry"
"UnderGstand it aGm6ll"
[Chorus]
FIn the light of The BbMagic Hour
EmEverything just seems to just Em7slow right down
FThe more I know, The Dmless I know
(And they're Emstill Adancing)
FThe more I know, The Dmless I know
(And they're Emstill Adancing)
FDon't know where I'm Dmgoing like I'm alone
(But I'm Emstill danEcing)
[Verse 3]
AmOh! Been tryna Gmadd it up
But Fit's another Dmgame
No, Emlife ain't Afair, it's vanity
FCrowded streets all Ebtreat you the same
AmFeet don't Gmfail me now
I Fclick my heels 3 times
DmI'm off of the ground
I Emlose, Aget lost
But, I'm Frunnin' near the Ebcrowds
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my Afate won't change, it Dknows me by Gname
And it Gmcalls
When I Asell your soul to Dtry
And undeGrstand it Gm6all
[Chorus]
FIn the light of The BbMagic Hour
EmEverything just seems to just Em7slow right down
FThe more I know, The Dmless I know
(And they're Emstill Adancing)
FThe more I know, The Dmless I know
(And they're Emstill Adancing)
FThe more I know, The Dmless I know
(But I'm Emstill danEcing)
[Outro]
N.C.
And they're still dancing
N.C.
(The more I know, The less I know)
N.C.
And they're still dancing
F(I gotta go, The Dmfeeling's gone)
And I'm Astill dancing
F(The more I know, The Dmless I know)E
