[Intro]
| G      | C      | G      | C      |
| Am     | G      | Am     | G   D C|
[Strophe]
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
[Strophe]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Strophe]
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
[Instrumentale]
| G      | C      | G      | C   C/B|
| Am     | G      | Am     | G      |
[Refrain]
        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
[Strophe]
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 
Am                     G 
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
[Outro]
