The  
F 
window is open,  
Bb/F 
so’s that door
 
I  
Fmaj7 
didn’t know they did that
Bb/F 
anymore,
 
who  
F 
knew we owned eight thou
F/A 
sand salad  
C 
plates? 
 
 
Csus

For  
F 
years I’ve roamed these  
Bb/F 
empty 
 
halls,
 
Fmaj7 
why have a ballroom  
Bb/F 
with no balls?
 
Dm 
Finally they’re  
Dm/C 
opening up the  
Bm7b5 
gates 
 
 
G7 
 
There’ll be  
Em 
actual real live  
Fmaj7 
people,
 
G 
it’ll be totally  
Am 
strange.
 
But  
Eb 
wow, am I so ready for this  
Csus 
change?
 
‘Cause for the  
F/A 
first time in for
Bbadd2 
ever,
 
there’ll be  
C/E 
music,
 
there’ll be light.  
Fadd2 
 
F/E 
 
For the  
Dm 
first time in for
Am 
ever
 
I’ll be  
Eb 
dancing through the  
A7 
night.
 
Don’t  
Dm 
know if I’m elated or  
Dm/C 
gassy
 
but I’m  
Bbmaj7 
somewhere in that  
G2/B 
zone.
 
‘Cause for the  
F5/Ab 
first time infor
Bbsus2 
ever… 
 
 
C7sus 
 
I won’t be alone.

To
Gb 
night imagine me  
B/Gb 
gown and all,
 
Gbmaj7 
fetchingly draped a
B/Gb 
gainst the wall,
 
the  
Gb 
picture of so
Gb/Bb 
phisticated 
 
 
Dbsus 
grace. 
 
 
Db 
 
Ooh, I  
Gb 
suddenly see him  
B/Gb 
standing 
 
there,
 
a  
Gbmaj7 
beautiful stranger  
B/Gb 
tall and fair,
 
I  
Ebm 
wanna stuff some  
Ebm/Db 
chocolate in my  
Cm7b5 
face. 
 
 
Ab9 
 
But then we  
Fm 
laugh and talk all  
Gb 
evening,
 
which is  
Ab 
totally 
 
bi
Bbm 
zarre,
 
E 
nothing like the life I’ve led so  
Dbsus 
far.
 
For  
Dbsus/B 
the 
 
 
Gb/Bb 
first time in for
Badd2 
ever,
 
there’ll be  
Db/F 
magic,
 
there’ll be fun.  
Gbadd2 
 
Gb/F 
 
For the  
Ebm 
first time in for
Bbm 
ever
 
I could be  
E 
noticed by someone.  
Bb7 
 
And I  
Ebm 
know it is totally  
Ebm/Db 
crazy
 
to  
Bmaj7 
dream I’d find ro
Cm7b5 
mance.
 
But for the  
Gbm6/Bb 
first time in for
Gb/B 
ever 
 
 
Db7sus 
 
at least I’ve got a chance.  
Gb5 
 
Db/F 
 
Eb5 
 
Don’t let them in,  
Bbm 
 
don’t let them see,  
Ab/C 
 
Db 

be the good girl

 
you always  
Ab5 
have to be.  
Abm/B 
 
Eb5 
 
Conceal,  
Bbm 
don’t 
 
feel,
 
Ab/C 
put 
 
 
Db 
on a show…
 
Make  
Ab5 
one wrong move and
Abm/B 
everyone will  
Eb5 
know.
 
But it’s  
Db/F 
only for to
Gb 
day
 
(It’s only for to
Gb/E 
day)
 
It’s agony to  
Ab 
wait
 
(It’s agony to  
Ab/Gb 
wait)
 
Am7b5 
Tell the guards to open up the  
F2 
gate

(the gate)

 
For the  
G/B 
first time in for
Cadd2 
ever

(Don’t let them in, don’t let them see)

 
I’m getting  
D/F# 
what I’m dreaming of  
G 
 
(Be the good girl you  
G/F# 
always have to be)
 
A  
Em 
chance to change my lone
Bm 
ly 
 
world(Conceal)
 
A  
F 
chance to find true love  
B7 

(Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know)

 
I  
Em 
know it all ends to
Em/D 
morrow
 
so it  
Cmaj7 
has to be to
C#m7b5 
day. 
 
 
A7 
 
‘Cause for the  
G/B 
first time in for
G/C 
ever
 
For the  
G/D 
first time  
A7/E 
in 
 
for
Cm/Eb 
ever 
 
 
C/D 
 
Nothing’s in my  
G 
way!
