Intro:
[F] [Bb] [C] [F]
[C] [C]
[Bb]I just want the [Am]chance to let that [F]little ballerina come [Dm]dance
I know it's [C]hard to find ro[Dm]mance
When all your [C]dreams slipped out your [F]hands
Oh darlin'
[Bb]I just want the [Am]chance to let that [F]little ballerina come [Dm]dance
I know it's [C]hard to find ro[Dm]mance
When all your [C]dreams slipped out your [F]hands
Oh darlin'
[Bb] [C] [F] [G]
[C] [Dm] [C] [Bb]
As [Bb]soon as she walked in
[Am]We started talkin'
As if [Dm]nobody else e[F]xist
With her [Bb]bleach blonde hair and her[F] cold hard stare
And her [Dm]lucky 13 on her [F]wrist
And [Bb]all night long, [Dm]I play my song
Until she broke down in [F]tears
Oh it's [Bb]just the same, caught [F]up in the game
Of [Dm]life so homemade my [F]dear
Cause [F]all[Em] I [Dm]need[C] is [Bb]time
[F]All[Em] I [Dm]nee[C]d is [Bb]time
I[Bb] just want the c[Am]hance to let that l[F]ittle ballerina come d[Dm]ance
I know it's [C]hard to find ro[Dm]mance
When all your [C]dreams slipped out your [F]hands
Oh darlin'
[Bb]I just want the [Am]chance to let that [F]little ballerina come [Dm]dance
I know it's [C]hard to find ro[Dm]mance
When all your [C]dreams slipped out your [F]hands
Oh darlin'
So t[B]ake her to the ocean
[Dm]Love to watch her floating
Hoping that she drifts my [F]way
All those [B]waves drown her sorrow
[F]She'll need me tomorrow
So [Dm]what's another empty [F]day
But [Bb]all my friends, [F]they see the end
[Dm]She's been doing this for years
But I [Bb]swear I know, that her [Dm]heart can grow
Beyond that [Am]lonely little life that she [F]fears
Cause [F]all[Em] I [Dm]need[C] is [Bb]time
[F]All[Em] I [Dm]nee[C]d is [Bb]time
[Bb]I just want the [Am]chance to let that [F]little ballerina come [Dm]dance
I know it's [C]hard to find ro[Dm]mance
When all your [C]dreams slipped out your [F]hands
Oh darlin'
[F]You've been trying so hard
For [Em]all of your [Dm]life
Never got it quite right
[F]This I [Bb]know
Ohh you [Gm]say you need it [C]slow
Or you just lose con[C]trol
[F]Baby if I find the [Em]way
[Dm]To take off [Bb]your [F]mind away from the [Bb]cold
Just [Dm]tell me that you'll [C]go
I[Bb] just want the c[Am]hance to let that l[F]ittle ballerina come d[Dm]ance
I know it's [C]hard to find ro[Dm]mance
When all your [C]dreams slipped out your [F]hands
Oh darlin'
[Bb]I just want the [Am]chance to let that [F]little ballerina come [Dm]dance
I know it's [C]hard to find ro[Dm]mance
When all your [C]dreams slipped out your [F]hands
Oh darlin'
