Verse 1

When I was 14, I was fallin' fast
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class
Tryin' to find the courage to ask her out
Was like tryin' to oil from a water spout

Pre-chorus 1

What she would've said I can't say
I never did ask then she moved away
But I learned something from my blue-eyed girl
Sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl

Chorus

Life's a dance, you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
Life's a dance, you learn as you go

Break

|(G) G/F# G/E G/D | C |

Verse 2

The longer I live the more I believe
You do have to give if you wanna receive
There's a time to listen, a time to talk
and you might have to crawl even after you walk

Pre-chorus 2

Had sure things blow up in my face
Seen the long shot win the race
Been knocked down by the slammin' door
Picked myself up and came back for more

Chorus

Life's a dance, you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
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

Life's a dance, you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know
Life's a dance, you learn as you go

Break

|(A) A/G# A/F# A/E | D |

Outro

Life's a dance
Life's a dance
Life's a dance (Take a chance on love)
Life's a dance, You learn as you go
|(A) A/G# A/F# A/E | D |
