[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] I guess the dance [Gm] is over now
So [Eb] you just curtsy [Bb] and I'll bow
[Ab] And ask the band to play us all [Eb] day time
And [Bb] [Eb] I'll just take [Bb] what's left of me
[Eb] Right back to where [Bb] it used to be
[F] And you go sail your magic carpet
[Bb] Far across the sky
I [Ab] wish I could have made it
[Eb] More like the movies for [Bb] you
Some pretty technical [Eb] way
[Fm] It's never [Eb] been
I'm [Ab] sorry when I kissed you
You [Eb] [Bb] only heard [Cm] me whisper
You [F] never got to hear [Bb] those violins
Did you girl?
You [Ab] never got [Bb] to hear those [Eb]
violins
Oh
[Bb] [Eb]
[F] [Bb] The [Eb]
castles that you [Bb] built so high
[Eb] Were just too [Bb] steep for me to climb
And [Ab] I guess these dirty streets of mine
[Eb] Were just too rough for [Bb] you
[Eb] I wish I [Bb] could have helped you see
[Eb] Just one of your [Bb] sweet childhood dreams
[F] But though I tried
I could not make
[Bb] Not one of them come true
[Ab] And I wish I could have made it
[Eb] More like the movies for you
[Bb] Some pretty technical [Eb] way
[Fm] It's never [Eb] been
I'm [Ab] sorry when I kissed you
You [Eb] [Gm] only [Bb] heard me [Cm] whisper
[F] You never got to [Eb] hear those [Bb] violins
Did you girl?
No, you [Abm] never got [Bb] to hear those [Eb] violins
[Fm]
[Eb] Oh, [Ab]
I kissed [Bb] you
[Eb] You [Gm] only [Fm] heard me whisper
[Bb] [F] You [Gm] never got to [F] [Eb] hear those [Bb] violins
[Ab] [Bb] No, [Ab] you never got to [Bb] hear [Gm] those [Eb] violins
[Fm] [Eb] No, you [Bb]
never got [Eb] to hear
