First Tab Young Foolish Happy UK version featuring Marty James Couldn't find any
chords for this song so decided to try and work it out myself so here is my attempt with
lyrics I think it's relatively correct

[A] : 002220
[F#m] : 244222
[E] : 022100
[E7] : 020100

[A] [F#m] [/ ] [E]throughout [E] the [E7]whole song :

[Intro]
]
Marty James:
You know I'm trying to make it happen for us right nowI got to do what I got to do, me and you

[Verse]
]
[Pixie Lott:]
[A]I remember we were living like Kings and Queens
[F#m]In the little tiny castle made of hopes and dreams
[E]It was destiny, meant to be
[E] [/[E7] [E] ]
So complete, the perfect team

And suddenly there's a glitch in the system
And between us is a big strip of distance
They say it supposed to make the heart grow fonder
For more like I can tell it couldn't be wronger

A little bit of more goes a long way
Marty James:
A little bit of right goes the wrong way
Pixie Lott:
I keep giving, you keep taking
Marty James:
I'm trying to make a living be patient

[Chorus]
Pixie Lott:]
[A]All dressed up [F#m] nowhere to go
[E] [E] [E7] [/ ]
So I'm dancing on my own
[A]I've been [F#m]waiting way too long
[E] [E] [E7] [/ ]
Dancing on my own
[A]Play one more so o o o o ong
[F#m]So o o o o ong
[E]So o o o o ong
[E] [/[E7] ]
Only youre not coming
[A]So o o o o ong
[F#m]So o o o o ong
[E]So o o o o ong
[E] [/[E7] ]
Only you're not coming home

[Verse]
]
Marty James:
Listen, I don't want you dancing by yourself
And I don't want you picturing yourself with someone else
I know I made some promises and honestly I wanna just to work outI didn't know the shining star I found was 'bout to burn outSo what now? We go around like a record
I feelin' disconnected and you're feelin' disrespected
I don't know how this gonna rap upBut till I'm home you should turn that track on

[Pre Chorus]
/Hook:]
Pixie Lott:
And that's all I get from youBut I give my all to you
Marty James:
And that's all I hear from you

[Chorus]
Pixie Lott:]
All dressed up nowhere to goSo I'm dancing on my ownI've been waiting way too long
Dancing on my ownPlay one more so o o o o ongSo o o o o ongSo o o o o ongOnly you're not coming
So o o o o ongSo o o o o ongSo o o o o ongOnly you're not coming home

Marty James:
I always think about herTry to not over think about herI Always dream about herTry not to dream about herI feel so lost without herI try to come home
And it's so hard being out on my ownIt breaks my heart to leave you alone

[Chorus]
Pixie Lott:]
All dressed up nowhere to goSo I'm dancing on my ownI've been waiting way too long
Dancing on my ownPlay one more so o o o o ongSo o o o o ongSo o o o o ongOnly you're not coming
So o o o o ongSo o o o o ongSo o o o o ongOnly you're not coming home
