[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

 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
         Dm  Dm/C    Dm/B E       Dm       Dm/C   Dm/B E E
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
