George Michael (born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963 in East Finchley, London, England) is an English pop musician of English/Greek Cypriot ancestry. Michael began his career by forming a band called The Executive together with his best friend Andrew Ridgeley, a fellow pupil at Bushey Meads School, though it did not survive for long.  It wasn't until he formed the duo Wham! together again with Ridgeley in 1981 that the success came for the band.

George Michael, né le 25 juin 1963 à Finchley au Nord-Ouest de Londres, Angleterre, de son vrai nom Georgios Kyriákos Panayótou (en grec 

Su verdadero nombre es Giorgios Kyriacos Panayiotou. Su padre es grecochipriota y su madre es inglesa. George comenzó su carrera formando una banda llamada The Executive con su mejor amigo Andrew Ridgeley, compañero de la Bushey Meads School.  No fue sino hasta que formó el dúo Wham! con Ridgeley en 1981 que el éxito llegó a la banda. Su primer albúm, Fantastic!, fue un éxito instantáneo, y después de un año, lanzaron su sencillo debút Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do), mientras que su segundo sencillo, Young Guns (Go For It), obtuvo gran éxito en las listas de éxitos del Reino Unido.

George Michael was 17 when he wrote this. He was taking the bus to his job as an usher at a cinema. That's where the reference to &quot;The silver screen&quot; comes from in the first verse.  This was Epic Records first million selling single and it was George Michael's biggest selling single in the UK, either as a solo artist or with Wham! selling 1,365,995 copies.

Verse 1:
 	Dm	Gm
 	 I feel so unsu re
 	Bb	A7
 As I 	take your hand and lead you 	to the dance floor

 	 As the music dies, s	omething in your eyes
 	Bb	A7
 	Calls to mind a silver screen, and 	all its sad good-byes

 	Dm	Gm
 	   I'm never gonna dance again, g	uilty feet have got no rhythm
 	Bb	A7
 	   Though it's easy to pretend, I 	know you're not a fool
 	Dm
   I 	should've known better than to cheat a friend,
 	Gm
   And 	waste the chance that I'd been given
 	Bb	A7
 	   So I'm never gonna dance again, the 	way I danced with you

   	Time can never men	d, the 	careless whispers 	of a good friend

   	There's no comfort in the truth, 	pain is all you'll find

To	night the music seems so loud,
 	Gm
I 	wish that we could lose this crowd
 	Bb
 	Maybe it's better this way,
 	A7
we'd 	hurt each other with the things we'd want to say
 	Dm
We 	could have been so good together,
 	Gm
we 	could have lived this dance forever
 	Bb	A7
But 	now who's gonna dance with 	me? Please stay

Bridge:

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D

I have cold blood even in a sweater

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Crash Years

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
