(Fmaj9)don’t know why I’m fright ened,

2.

(Fmaj9)(2.) pered con ver sa tions

in (Bb6)ov er crowd ed hall ways,

the (Fmaj9)at mos phere as thrill ing here as (Ebmaj7)al ways.

Feel the (Bbmaj7)ear ly morn ing mad ness,

feel the (Gm7)ma gic in the mak ing.

and I (Eb)need

(Bb)a

mo

(C)ment.

2.

Why, (Fmaj7)ev ’ry thing’s as if we (Bb)nev er said good (F)bye.

Yes, (Fmaj7)ev ’ry thing’s as if we (Bb6)nev er said good (CN.C.)bye.

Oh, (Fmaj7)please don’t ev er, ev er
