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

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