#1.
Eb      Ab                 Eb
I had a date with a pretty ballerina.
Eb          Ab                Eb
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes.
Eb          Ab                 Eb
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me.
Bbm      Absus4  Ab    C#       F#         Bb     Eb Ab Eb
Was I surprised, yeah..was I surprised, no not at all.

#2.
Eb           Ab                               Eb
I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow.
Eb          Ab                Eb
I could not keep the joy that was inside.
Eb           Ab             Eb
I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me.
Bbm         Absus4      Ab      C#          F#     Bb      Eb
Somewhere a mountain is moving..afraid it's moving without me.

Eb         Ab        Eb
And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning.
Eb     Ab            Eb
I open up my eyes to find there's rain.
Eb            Ab                   Eb
And something strange within said, go ahead and find her.
Bbm             Absus4  Ab    C#              F#
Just close your eyes,   yeah..just close your eyes 
    Bb        Eb
and she'll be there.
