[Verse 1]
        D                       A
Oh, I know that she has made a fool of him,

                 D
Like girls have done so many nights before,

          A
Time and time again.

              D                   A
Life is so strange. I don't know why,

         D                     Gm
But somebody, somebody has to cry.

                D      A           G          D
There's gonna be no dancing when they get home.
[Chorus]
                G      A
There's gonna be no dancing, no,

                G      A
There's gonna be no dancing,

                G      A                   Bb    D
There's gonna be no dancing when they get home.
[Verse 2]
         D                          A
Now he's telling her every little thing he's done.

                          D
Once he glanced at the jackets of some paperbacks.

    A
Now he's read every one.

            D                 A
He's such a drag. He's not insane.

       D                                   Gm
It's just that everybody has to feel his pain.

                G     A              G       D
There's gonna be no dancing when they get home.
[Bridge]
Bb
He's getting down on his knees.

Dm                 Bb                            Dm
He finds that the girl is not so easy to please, oh, oh.

 Bb                                F
After all, his nights were just a paper striptease.

      A7sus4                   A7
She's caught it like some disease.
N.C. If he says no dancing, there's gonna be no dancing,
                   G    A         Bb   D
There's gonna be no dancing on my own.
[Verse 3]
N.C.             D                      A
She can't even speak to him. He can't face her now.

              D
He says, "Even though I wanna shake your hand,

            A
All I ever do is bow.

            D              A
So now you see how it can be.

     D                               Gm
Why can't you give me everything but sympathy?
[Chorus]
                D      A
There's gonna be no dancing,

                D      A
There's gonna be no dancing,

                Bb     F
There's gonna be no dancing,

                Bb     F
There's gonna be no dancing

                Bb     F
There's gonna be no dancing

                Bb     F          Eb    Dmaj7
There's gonna be no dancing on my own.
