D7M             D6  Bm7                      Fdim 
Dancing in the dark,   til the   tune   ends 
       Em     B       Em7 Em6       Gm7  A7/13 
We're dancing in the dark,   and it soon ends 
       D               Dm        Am        F7 
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here 
Gm7         Gdim Edim  Bb9       A7         
Time hurries by, we're here and gone 
D7M              D6  Bm7               Fdim 
Looking for the light    of a   new    love 
   Em       B       Em7  Em6       Gm7    A7/13 
To brighten up the night,   I have you to love 
    D               Dm          F7   A7/9- 
And we can face the music together  
D             Gdim   D   Bb9 A7/9- A7 
Dancing in the dark 
 
Bridge

What though love is old?  What though song is old 
G        G/F#  Em7  A7       D6 
Through them we can be young 
G           A7            F#m7     Bm7 
Hear this heart of mine wailin' all the time 
E7        Em7     G/B   A7   A713- 
Dear one, tell me that we're one

Looking for the light    of a   new    love

To brighten up the night,   I have you to love

And we can face the music together

Dancing in the dark
