[INTRO]
[Am] [Dm] [Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [G]

[Verse 1] (spoken - male voice)
When I first knew her [C]she was a dancer [F] [Am]
I saw her leap, confi[Dm]dently, knowing, that should she fall [C]
It would be into the arms[G] of her [Ebm]very own partner [E7] [F]
She never failed[Dm] to get a curtain call [G]

[CHORUS]
For [Am]years we had been one [G]with the stars
A [Am]Pas de Deux of re[G]nown
I’d [F]leap and he’d [G]catch me [C]on [G/B]the [Am]fly
And gently he’d [Dm]put me [G]down

[VERSE 2]
The [C]heights that I [G]reached were [C]dange[F]rous
And I [Am]saw my [Dm]partner strain
And [C]felt when [G]I had [Ebm]land[E7]ed
His [F]strength was [Dm]on the [G]wane

[BRIDGE]
[F]Back before my knees were [Em]blue
[C]Backs broke [Gm]bending in a [B7]step for [E]two

[CHORUS]
For [Am]years we had been one [G]with the stars
A [Am]Pas de Deux of re[G]nown
I’d [F]leap and he’d [G]catch me [C]on [G/B]the [Am]fly
But once I came [Dm]crashing [C]down

[VERSE 3]
[G]Now [C]I’m a [F]weaver
Wall-[Am]hangings, [Dm]if you please
In [C]every[G]one I [Ebm]feat[E7]ure
A [F]dancer [Dm]with bruised [G]knees

[CHORUS]
For [Am]years we had been one [G]with the stars
A [Am]Pas de Deux of re[G]nown
I’d [F]leap and he’d [G]catch me [C]on [G/B]the [Am]fly
But once I came [Dm]crashing [C]down
