Life's a Dance - John Michael Montgomery
 
 
[Intro]
 
| G G/F# G/E G/D | C |
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
     G
When I was 14, I was fallin' fast
      C
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class
G
Tryin' to find the courage to ask her out
         C
Was like tryin' to oil from a water spout
 
 
[Pre-chorus 1]
 
D
What she would've said I can't say
  C
I never did ask then she moved away
    D
But I learned something from my blue-eyed girl
C                       D         G
Sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
D                   G
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Am                     C         D
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
C                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
 
 
[Break]
 
|(G) G/F# G/E G/D | C |
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    G
The longer I live the more I believe
    C
You do have to give if you wanna receive
          G
There's a time to listen, a time to talk
        C
and you might have to crawl even after you walk
 
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
 
D
Had sure things blow up in my face
C
Seen the long shot win the race
D
Been knocked down by the slammin' door
C                         D        G
Picked myself up and came back for more
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
D                   G
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Am                     C         D
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
C                   D            G
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
 
 
[Break]
 
|(G) G/F# G/E  G/D | C |
| A  A/G# A/F# A/E | D |
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                   E            A
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
E                   A
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Bm                     D         E
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
D                   E            A
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
 
A                   E            A
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
E                   A
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Bm                     D         E
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
D                   E            A
Life's a dance, you learn as you go

Good job, but please go back and add the chords throughout the entire song so that app users can use the scroll function.

Should say "like tryin' to get oil from a water spout" and the first line after Bridge 1 is "what she woulda said, I can't say" Bridge 2 should be I've had sure things blow up in my face Seen the long shot win the race ...
