    F              Bb/F 
The window is open so's that door. 
  Fmaj7                     Bb/F 
I didn't know they did that any - more. 
    F                   F/A            C Csus C Csus C 
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates.  
    F                       Bb/F 
For years I've roamed these empty halls. 
Fmaj7               Bb/F 
Why have a ballroom with no balls? 
Dm11            Dm11/C         G9/B       G7 
Finally they're op'ning up the gates.
[Pre-Refrain]
            Em7              Fmaj7 
There'll be actual real live people. 
G                Am 
It'll be totally strange. 
    Eb      Ebsus Eb       Ebsus Eb   Csus2 
But wow, am I     so ready for   this change.
[Refrain]
               F/A               Bb                C/E                Fmaj9   Fmaj9/E 
'Cause for the first time in for-ever, there'll be music, there'll be light. 
Em      Dm                Am            Eb                     A7 
For the first time in for-ever, I'll be dancing through the night. 
      Dm                        Dm7/C       Bb                Gm9 
Don't know if I'm elated or gas-sy, but I'm somewhere in that zone. 
Dm                Fm/Ab             Bb 
    Cause for the first time in for-ever 
C7sus 
          I won't be alone

[Strophe]
   F#               B/F# 
To-night imagine me gown and all, 
F#maj7              B/F# 
fetchingly draped a-gainst the wall. 
    F#            F#/Bb       Db  Dbsus Db Dbsus Db 
The picture of so-phisticated grace.  
  F#               B/F# 
I suddenly see him standing there, 
  F#maj7              B/F# 
a beautiful stranger, tall and fair. 
  Ebm              Ebm7/Db          Ab/C     Ab9 
I wanna stuff some choco'late in my face.
[Pre-Refrain]
            Fm                    F# 
But then we laugh and talk all ev'ning, 
         Ab6        Bbm6 
which is totally bi-zarre. 
E       Esus E             Esus E  Dbsus 
Nothing like the life I've lead  so far.
[Refrain]
        F#/Bb             B                 Db/F                F#maj9   F#maj9/F 
For the first time in for-ever, there'll be magic, there'll be fun. 
        Ebm               Bbm              E          Bb7 
For the first time in for-ever, I could be noticed by someone. 
      Ebm                Ebm7/Db  B                 Ab9 
And I know it is totally crazy to dream I'd find ro-mance. 
               F#m/A             B 
    Bu for the first time in for-ever 
Db7sus 
          at least I've got a chance.

Db                              Ab5        Abm/B

know.
[Pre-Refrain]
         Fm7         F#                     F#7/E 
But it's only for to-day. (It's only for to-day.)

It's agony to wait. (It's agony to wait.)
