[Verse]
Am Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
That's quite a num---ber to sing
Fmaj7/D
Spotlit, getting lowered in
Am Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
But you co-direct and play the twins
Fmaj7/D
And adapt the main theme from mandolins
Am Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
Conjured up won- -derful things
Fmaj7/D
The ballad of what could've been,
Am Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
Over and ou------t
Fmaj7/D
Its been a thrill
[Chorus]
Dm Dm/C E Am
I had big i-deas, the band were so excited
Dm Dm/C E Am
The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
Dm Dm/C E Am
But now the or-chestras got us all surrounded
Dm Dm/C Dm/B E Dm Dm/C Dm/B E
And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go
Am C/G F Dm7 Dm7
[Verse]
Am Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D
Coordina----ted Release
Fmaj7/D
Nationwide festivities,
Am Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D
We had them out of their seats
Fmaj7
Waving their arms and stomping the feet
Am Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
Some just hyster---ically sing
Fmaj7
The ballad of what could've been
Am Cmaj7 C7 Fmaj7/D Fm6/D Fm6/D
Over and ou----------------t
Fmaj7/D
Really, its been a thrill
[Chorus]
Dm Dm/C E Am
I had big i-deas, the band were so excited
Dm Dm/C E Am
The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
Dm Dm/C E Am
But now the or-chestras got us all surrounded

And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go

I just can' t for the life of me remember how they go
That's quite a number to sing
Spot lit getting lowered in
Can you co-direct and play the twins?
And adapt the main theme for mandolins?
I've conjured up wonderful things
The Ballad of What Could Have Been
Over and out
It's been a thrill
I had big ideas, the band was so excited
The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded
And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go
Co-ordinated release
Nationwide festivities
We had 'em out of their seats
Waving their arms and stomping their feet
Some just hysterical scenes
The Ballad of What Could Have Been
Over and out
Really it's been a thrill
I had big ideas, the band was so excited
The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded
And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go
I just can't for the life of me remember how they go
