[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][F][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Well, that's quite
a num[C]ber [F]to [Dm]sing
Spotlit, getting lowered in
[Am]Can you co-direct and an[C]d play
the [F]twin[Dm]s
And adapt the main theme
for mandolins?
[Am]I've conjured up wonder
[C]ful thing[F]s[Dm]
The ballad of what could've been
[Am]Over and o[G]ut[F][Dm]

[Verse 2]
It's been a thrill
[Dm]
I had big ideas,
the [Bm]band were [E]so ex[Am]cited
The kind [Dm]you'd rather [F]not
[Bdim]share ov[E]er the p[Am]hone
But now, the [Dm]orches[C]tra's
[Bdim]got us all[E] sur[Am]rounded
And I can[Dm]not for t[Bdim]he life of me [E]rememb[Dm]er
[C]how they go

[Bdim][G#dim][Am][G][C][F][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Coordinated [C]rele[F]ase
[Dm]Nati[F]onwi[Dm]de festivities
[Am]We had 'em out of th[C]ei[F]r seats
Wav[Dm]in' their arms
and stompin' their feet
[Am]Some were just hyste[C]rical scen[F]es
[Dm]The ballad of what could've been
[Am]Over and out[G][F]
Really, it's [Dm]been a thrill

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
I had big ideas, the [Bm]band were [E]so ex[Am]cited
The kind [Dm]you'd rather [F]not
[Bdim]share over t[E]he p[Am]hone
But now, [Dm]the orches[C]tra's
[Bdim]got us all[E] sur[Am]rounded
And I can[Dm]not for t[Bdim]he life of me [E]rememb[Dm]er h[C]ow they go
