[Intro]
|  G   G/F#   G/E   G/D|  C|
[Verse 1]
When GI was 14, I was fallin' fast
For a Cblue-eyed girl in my homeroom class
GTryin' to find the courage to ask her out
Was like Ctryin' to oil from a water spout
[Pre-chorus 1]
DWhat she would've said I can't say
I Cnever did ask then she moved away
But DI learned something from my blue-eyed girl
CSink or swim, you gotta Dgive it a Gwhirl
[Chorus]
GLife's a dance, you Dlearn as you Ggo
DSometimes you lead, Gsometimes you follow
AmDon't worry 'bout what Cyou don't Dknow
CLife's a dance, you Dlearn as you Ggo
[Break]
|(G)  G/F#   G/E   G/D|  C| 
[Verse 2]
The Glonger I live the more I believe
You Cdo have to give if you wanna receive
There's a Gtime to listen, a time to talk
and you Cmight have to crawl even after you walk
[Pre-chorus 2]
DHad sure things blow up in my face
CSeen the long shot win the race
DBeen knocked down by the slammin' door
CPicked myself up and came Dback for Gmore
[Chorus]
GLife's a dance, you Dlearn as you Ggo
DSometimes you lead, Gsometimes you follow
AmDon't worry 'bout what Cyou don't Dknow
CLife's a dance, you Dlearn as you Ggo
