Lyrics

(F)Once, in ev ’ry show

there (C)comes a song like this.

It (Dm)starts off soft and low,

and (Bb)ends up with a kiss.

Oh, (F)where (Dm)is the (Gm7)song that goes like (Csus)this?

A (F)sen ti men tal song that (C)casts a mag ic spell.

They (Dm)all will hum a long.

(Dm)We’ll (Bb)o ver act like hell.

Oh, (F)this

(Dm)is the (Gm7)song that (C7)goes like this.

(Bb)Now we can go straight in (F)to the mid dle eight, a (Gm7)bridge that (C7)is too (F)far for me.

(F7)I’ll (Bb)sing it in your face,

(A7)while we both em brace, and (Dm)then we (G7)change the (C)key!

(G)Now we’re in to E.

That’s (D)aw fully high for me.

But (Em)ev ’ry one can see

(Em)we (C)should have stayed in D.

For (G)this

(Em)is our (Am7)song that goes like (Dsus)this.

I’m (G)feel ing ver y proud.

You’re (D)sing ing far too loud.

That’s the (Em)way that this song goes.

(Em)You’re (C)stand ing on my toes.

(G)Sing

(Em)ing our (Am7)song that goes like (Dsus)this.

I (G)can’t be lieve there’s more.

It’s (D)far too long, I’m sure.

That’s the (Em)trou ble with this song,

(Em)it goes (C)on and on and on.

For (G)this

(Em)is our (Am7)song that is too (Dsus)long.

We’ll be (G)sing ing this till dawn.

You’ll (D)wish that you weren’t born.

Let’s (Em)stop this damn re frain,

(Em)be (C)fore we go in sane.

The (G)song (Em)al ways (Am)ends (D7)like

(C)this.
