[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

[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

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
