Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Out on the floor the couples are swaying

 To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight

 You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing

 A slow country dance on a Saturday night

Sweethearts in love and others just lonely

Searching for someone to waltz with tonight

 In a smoky old bar you know that it's only

 A slow country dance on a Saturday night

 And love's never easy or ever as true

 When the changing of partners is no longer new

 You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes

Dance just to dance in three-quarter time

Instrumental

Down at the bar a woman tells stories

Batting her eyes to someone not there

Her glass is half full or maybe half empty

Like the jokes told about her when they think she can't hear

Now the perfume is cheap and the makeup is careless

And the dress out of fashion for a woman her age

But she don't give a damn for those who would cherish

A much lighter step and a much younger face

And love's never easy or ever as true

When the changing of partners is no longer new

You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes

Dance just to dance in three-quarter time
