[VERSE 1:]
    G                            C
You said you were through with romance 
           D        C
                           ~
Why take a chance on anyone 
          Am
You're so beautiful too 
      Cadd9                    G
I can tell by the way that you dance 
[VERSE 2:]
                           C
They say that people don't change
        D         C
                          ~
Why rearrange the original 
       Am
You do something to me

It's the time to  taste the   wine
[VERSE 3:]
    G                         C
And maybe someday things will change 
                D           C
                                       ~
And come within range and be laughable 
     Am
Everything is okay 
      Cadd9                    G
I can tell by the way that you dance 
[VERSE 4:]
                           C
They say that people don't try 
              D             C
                                       ~
That's just a lie, they work miracles 
       Am
It's a gift from above 
        Cadd9                 G       C  B7
When we talk about love and romance
[CHORUS:]
Em               Am
Signs of a new tomorrow 
D                       G
Signs of a life without sorrow 
    Am7                      Cmaj7
The better to forget than to be all that upset
         Am7  G/B C     A7/C# C/D
It's the time to  taste the   wine
[VERSE 5:]
    G                        C
And maybe this time you will be 
              D      C
                                   ~
Romantic like me when I'm with you
      Am
And I think you might say 
      Cadd9                    G
I can tell by the way that you dance
