E 
On the floor of Tokyo 
A 
Or down in London town to go, go 
B 
With the record selection 
  
And the mirror's reflection 
A 
I'm dancing with myself 
E 
When there's no-one else in sight 
A 
In the crowded lonely night 
B 
Well I wait so long for my love vibration 
A 
And I'm dancing with myself 
  
E 
Oh dancing with myself 
A 
Oh dancing with myself 
B 
Well there's nothing to lose 
  
And there's nothing to prove 
A 
I'll be dancing with myself 
 
( E ) 
  
E 
If I looked all over the world 
A 
And there's every type of girl 
B 
But your empty eyes 
  
Seem to pass me by 
A 
Leave me dancing with myself 
  
E 
So let's sink another drink 
A 
'Cause it'll give me time to think 
B 
If I had the chance 
  
I'd ask the world to dance 
A 
And I'll be dancing with myself 
 
E 
Oh dancing with myself 
A 
Oh dancing with myself 
B 
Well there's nothing to lose 
  
And there's nothing to prove 
A 
I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself 
Oh dancing with myself

I'd ask the world to dance 
If I had the chance 
I'd ask the world to dance 
If I had the chance 
I'd ask the world to dance
