This is my better and more complete version of this tab.
The famous sax solo is not in the original key, as it goes bellow the standard 12-hole harp range.
The rest of the song is in the original key of D minor, so you can play it over karaoke. Enjoy!
8* -8 -6* -5
8* -8 -6* -5

-7 7 -5
7 -6* -5 -4 3
-2* 3 -3 -4 5* -5 6 -6*
-3 -3 3 -2 2 -1
I feel so unsure
-1 -1 -3 -3* 3
As I take your hand
-1 -2 -1 -3 3 -2 2
And lead you to the dance floor
-1 2 -2 3 -3
As the music dies
-1 2 -2 -1 4 -3*
Something in your eyes
-3 -3* -3 -3* -3 -3* -3
Calls to mind the silver screen
2* -3 3 -2 2 -1
And all its sad goodbyes
Chorus
-6 -6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5
I'm never gonna dance again
-6 -5 -6 -5 7 -6 6 -5
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
-6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5
Though it's easy to pretend
-5 6 6 6 5 -5 5
I know you're not a fool
5 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
I should have known better
6 6 6 -5 -5
Than to cheat a friend
-5 -6 -5 -6 -5 7 -6 6 -5
And waste this chance that I've been given
-6 -6 -6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5
So I'm never gonna dance again
-5 6 6 -5 6 -6 6 -5
The way I danced with you
-3 -2 3 -2 2 -1
Time can never mend
-3* -3 -3 3 -3 3 -2 2
the careless whispers of a good friend
-1 2 -2 3 -3
to the heart and mind
-1 2 -2 -1 4 -3*
ignorance is kind
-3 -3* -3 -3* -3 -3* -3
there's no comfort in the truth
-3 3 -2 2 -1
pain is all you'll find
-5 -7 7 7 -6 -7 -6 -5
Tonight the music seems so loud
-5 -7 7 7 -6 -7 -6 -5
I wish that we could lose this crowd
-6 -6 -6 7 7 -6 -6
Maybe it's better this way
-5 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5 6 -5 6 -6 7
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
-5 -7 7 7 -6 -7 -6 -6 -5
We could have been so good together
-5 -7 7 7 -6 -7 -6 -6 -5
We could have lived this dance forever
-5 -9 8 8 -7* -7* -7 -7
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
7 -6 7 -6 -5
Please stay
