intro, 2 beats/chord: Dm7 G9 C#m7 F#9 Bm7 E9 A E7
A Abm7b5 C#7
Romance is a slow dance
F#m C#7 F#m F#7
to a sound as sweet as rain.
B7 C7 B7
It's a new song you never heard before
Bm7 E7
unfolding to you both the same.
A Abm7b5 C#7
It takes time but you can get that step
F#m C#7 F#m F#7
because lovin' isn't like a race.
Dm7 G9 C#m7 F#9
because romance is a slow dance
Bm7 E9 A E7
and your feet seem to fall in place.
There's no one else out there on the floor
and there's room for every weave and spin.
and when the dance is over you ask for just one more
and the band plays your song again.
If it's true love, you can live on that tune,
it'll guide your through your trouble and pain.
Because romance is a slow dance
to a sound as sweet as rain.
(instrumental solo to 1st 4 lines)
(repeat last 4 lines)
romance is a slow, slow dance
to a sound as sweet as rain.
