[Chorus]
F      
Dancing through life

Am
Skimming the surface

Bb           Am7        Dm(7) 
Gliding where turf is smooth

Bbm                A7
Life's more painless

F              Dm
For the brainless

Bbm7          
Why think too hard

Cm
When it's so soothing
[Chorus]
F
Dancing through life

Am
No need to tough it

Bb             Am7          Dm(7)
When you can slough it off as I do

Bb
Nothing matters

A7                       Dm
But knowing nothing matters

Bb
It's just life

Am7                   F  Am  
So keep dancing through
[Chorus]
F
Dancing through life

Am
Swaying and sweeping

Bb        Am7      Dm(7)
And always keeping cool

Bbm                A7
Life is fraught-less

F                  Dm
When you're thoughtless

Bbm7      
Those who don't try

Cm ???
Never look foolish
[Chorus]
F
Dancing through life

Am
Mindless and careless

Bb           Am7
Make sure you wear less

Dm(7)
Trouble and rife

Bb            
Woes are fleeting

A7
Blows are glancing

Bb
When you're dancing
[Outro]
             F Am F Am 
Through life
