verse 1  
 
C 
On the floor of Tokyo 
F 
Or down in London town to go, go 
G 
With the record selection, and the mirror's reflection 
F 
I'm dancing with myself 
 
C 
When there's no-one else in sight 
F 
In the crowded lonely night 
G 
Well I wait so long for my love vibration 
F 
And I'm dancing with myself 
 
 
 
 
C 
Oh dancing with myself 
F 
Oh dancing with myself 
G 
Well there's nothing to lose, and there's nothing to prove 
F                             C 
I'll be dancing with myself 
 
 
verse 2 
 
C 
If I looked all over the world 
F 
And there's every type of girl 
G 
But your empty eyes, seem to pass me by 
F 
Leave me dancing with myself 
 
C 
So let's sink another drink 
F 
'Cause it'll give me time to think 
G 
If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance 
F 
And I'll be dancing with myself 
 
 
 
 
C 
Oh dancing with myself 
F 
Oh dancing with myself 
G 
Well there's nothing to lose, and there's nothing to prove 
F                              
I'll be dancing with myself 
 
 
Post-Chorus : C, F, G, F

So let's sink another drink

And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself 
G 
If I had the chance, I'd ask the world to dance

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