Ab

[Verse 1]
Bbm
She works at a bar
                   Ebm
But she's too young
To have a drink
Ab
Paying for her
                Db
Mother's alcohol
                 Ab
And colored pills
Bbm
Never see her father
             Ebm
But he taught
Her the ballet
    Ab
One night she packed
                  Db Ab
Her bags and ran away

[Pre-Chorus]
Gb             Ebm
  Oh, now she's
             Ebm7
Dancing alone
Ab             Fm
  Toes bleeding
                Ab
Out on the floor
Gb             Ebm
  Oh, now she's
             Ebm7
Dancing alone
Ab
  As she moves
     Db
Adagio 
      Ab Gb
Whoa, oh oh

[Chorus]
                 Ebm
She's beauty and grace
               Ebm7     Ab
She's floating on  stage
             Fm
Her happiest days
       Ab               Gb
With a smile on her face
           Ebm
Her memory stained
                Ebm7  Ab

And now she's
Ab           Gb Ebm
Dancing alone

[Verse 2]
Bbm
Fetishized by
      Ebm
Every man in town
  Ab              Db Ab
Roses fill the opera
Bbm
Hypnotized, but
         Ebm
When the curtain falls
          Ab
She’s only safe
         Db    Ab
In the applause

[Pre-Chorus]
