[Verse 1]
F A# F A# A#/A
Same dances in the same old shoes, some habits that you just can’t lose
Gm F Gm F C A#
There's no tellin' what a man might use, after the thrill is gone
[Verse 2]
F A# F A# A#/A
The flame rises but it soon descends, empty pages and a frozen pen
Gm F
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends
Gm F
After the thrill is gone, woah
Gm F F/E
After the thrill is gone
[Chorus 1]
Dm Am
What can you do when your dreams come true
Gm F
and it's not quite like you planned
Dm Am
What have you done to be losing the one,
A#m A#/C C
you held it so tight in your ha-a-a-and, well
[Verse 3]
F A# F A# A#/A
Time passes and you must move on, half the distance takes you twice as long
Gm F
So you keep on singing for the sake of a song
Gm F
After the thrill is gone
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2]
Dm Am
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion
Gm F
and you're feeling cold and small
Dm Am
Any kind of love without passion
A#m A#/C C
That ain't no kind of lovin' at aa-a-a-all
[Verse 4]
F A# F A# A#/A
Same dances in the same old shoes, you get too careful with the steps you choose
Gm F
You don't care about winning but you don't wanna lose
Gm F
After the thrill is gone
Gm F
After the thrill is gone
Gm F
After the thrill is gone, oh
A#m F
After the thrill is gone
A# A#m G
