Intro : G  C#  G 
Am                  G 
The window is open, so's that door 
D                  C# 
I didn't know they did that anymore 
Em                      C# 
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates? 
Am                    G 
For years I've roamed these empty halls 
D                   C# 
Why have a ballroom with no balls? 
Am              Em 
Finally they're opening up the gates 
Em   
There'll be actual real live people 
Bm 
It'll be totally strange 
D                      Em 
But wow, am I so ready for this change? 
F#m                   G 
'Cause for the first time in forever 
F#m                 G 
There'll be music, there'll be light 
Bm            G# 
For the first time in forever 
C#               F#m 
I'll be dancing through the night 
Gm                F# 
Don't know if I'm elated or gassy 
Bm                F# 
But I'm somewhere in that zone 
E                    Bm 
'Cause for the first time in forever 
 
I won't be alone 
 
CHANGE, CAPO TO 6TH FRET 
Am                 G 
Tonight imagine me gowned and all 
D                 C# 
Fetchingly draped against the wall 
Em             C# 
The picture of sophisticated grace 
Am             G 
I suddenly see him standing there 
D                     C# 
A beautiful stranger, tall and fair 
Am                 Em 
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face 
Em 
But then we laugh and talk all evening, 
Bm 
Which is totally bizarre 
D                     Em 
Nothing like the life I've led so far 
F#m            G 
For the first time in forever 
F#m                 G 
There'll be magic, there'll be fun 
Bm            G# 
For the first time in forever 
C#          F#m 
I could be noticed by someone 
Gm              F# 
And I know it is totally crazy 
Bm           F# 
To dream I'd find romance 
E           Bm 
But for the first time in forever 
B 
At least I've got a chance 
 
CHANGE, CAPO TO 8TH FRET 
A                  G 
Don't let them in, don't let them see 
D                   F# 
Be the good boy you always have to be 
E                    Bm 
Conceal, don't feel, put on a show 
E                       F# 
Make one wrong move and everyone will know 
Bm 
But it's only for today 
It's only for today 
F#m 
It's agony to wait 
It's agony to wait 
E 
Tell the guards to open up the gate 
The gate 
CHANGE CAPO TO 7TH FRET 
Am                 
For the first time in forever 
Don't let them in, don't let them see 
B 
I'm getting what I'm dreaming of 
Be the good boy you always have to be 
A 
A chance to change my lonely world 
Conceal 
G 
A chance to find true love 
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know 
F#m 
I know it all ends tomorrow, 
G 
So it has to be today 
C# 
'Cause for the first time in forever 
G 
For the first time in forever 
Bm 
Nothing's in my way!
