- [intro]
- G C G D
- Out on the floor the couples are swaying
- G C G D
- To "One Faded Love" on the jukebox tonight
- Em7 C G D
- You slide in your coins and the music keeps playing
- G C D G
- A slow country dance on a Saturday night

-
- G C G D
- Sweethearts in love and others just lonely
- G C G D
- Searching for someone to waltz with tonight
- Em7 C G D
- In a smoky old bar you know that it's only
- G C D G G
- A slow country dance on a Saturday night
-
- F C G D
- And love's never easy or ever as true
- F C G D D
- When the changing of partners is no longer new
- G C G D
- You lead with your heart, and closing your eyes
- G C D G
- Dance just to dance in three-quarter time
- G C D G

-
- 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
