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

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