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

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