| G      | C      | G      | C      |
| Am     | G      | Am     | G   D C|


[Verse 1]
G                    C              G                      C               C/B
  Same dances in the same old shoes,  some habits that you just can’t lose
Am                          G              Am                     G   D C
  There's no tellin' what a man might use, after the thrill is gone


[Verse 2]
G                        C             G                   C          C/B
  The flame rises but it soon descends,  empty pages and a frozen pen
Am                                   G
  You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends
Am                    G
After the thrill is gone, woah
Am                     G   G/F#
After the thrill is gone


[Chorus 1]
Em                            Bm
What can you do when your dreams come true
         Am                    G
and it's not quite like you planned
Em                        Bm
What have you done to be losing the one,
    Cm                        C/D   D
you held it so tight in your ha-a-a-and, well


[Verse 3]
G                     C            G                             C             C/B
  Time passes and you must move on,  half the distance takes you twice as long
       Am                      G
So you keep on singing for the sake of a song
Am                     G
After the thrill is gone


[Instrumental]
| G      | C      | G      | C   C/B|
| Am     | G      | Am     | G      |


[Chorus 2]
        Em                           Bm
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion
           Am                  G
and you're feeling cold and small
Em                        Bm
Any kind of love without passion
           Cm                    C/D   D
That ain't no kind of lovin' at aa-a-a-all


[Verse 4]
G                    C              G                              C                C/B
  Same dances in the same old shoes,  you get too careful with the steps you choose
Am                                     G
  You don't care about winning but you don't wanna lose
Am                     G
After the thrill is gone
Am                     G
After the thrill is gone
Am                    G
After the thrill is gone, oh
Cm                  G
After the thrill is gone
