[Verse 1]
F#        G#
 Displace, contrast
Fm            A#m     G#       F#
 Who wouldn't want to let this pass?
         G#
The snake must maw
Fm            A#m
 It's getting caught trying
       G#             F#
 to be something it's not
        G#
Keep it up so long
Fm               A#m
 Maybe it should stay
        G#         F#
 in the place it's lost
        G#
This too must pass
Fm            A#m
 It's getting caught trying
    G#
 to keep it together

[Chorus]
F#      G#
I don't dance
           Fm
The world around me
           A#m  G#
spins like a tornado
F#       G#
When you come
            Fm              A#m  G#
It's like nothing I've ever felt

F#      G#
 So say, maintain

 I never thought it'd be like that

The snake must maw
Fm            A#m
 It's getting caught
           G#
 trying to keep it together

[Chorus]
F#      G#
I don't dance
           Fm
The world around me

spins like a tornado

When you come

It's like nothing I've ever felt

[Bridge]
   F#           G#
My tragedy, the lion's mane
Fm                 A#m  G#
Getting right back up  again
F#              G#
Dreaming of the perfect way
   Fm               A#m         G#
To say the things I should just say

The world around me

spins like a tornado

In your arms

You are the only thing I want
F#      G#
I don't dance
           Fm
The world around me
           A#m  G#
spins like a tornado
F#       G#
When you come
            Fm
It's like nothing
          A#m  G#
I've ever felt

How to play Dont Dance: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Dont Dance by Anthony Green on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Dont Dance by Anthony Green is written in B♭ minor (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭) and moves through 4 chords: F#, G#, Fm and A#m.

The backbone of the song is F# – G# – Fm – A#m (VI – VII – v – i in B♭ minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes F, G, Em, Am (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
