I had a date with a pretty ballerina 
            G5                 D5
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
            G5
I asked her for this dance 
    D5
And then she obliged me 
A5       G5
Was I surprised, yeah 
C5        F5
Was I surprised, 
   A5      D5
No not at all

  D5          G5
I called her yesterday, 
   D5
It should have been tomorrow 
            G5
I could not keep 
             D5
The joy that was inside 
             G5
I begged for her to tell me 
D5
If she really loved me 
A5          G5
Somewhere a mountain is moving 
C5           F5      A5       D5
Afraid it's moving without me

            G5                 D5
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes

No not at all 

    D5      G5         D5
And when I wake on a dreary sunday morning 
       G5             D5
I open up my eyes to find there's rain 
              G5
And something strange within said, 
D5
go ahead and find her 
A5              G5
Just close your eyes, yeah 
C5               F5        A5         D5
Just close your eyes and she'll be there" 

A5         D5
She'll be there
A5         D5
She'll be there
A5         D5
She'll be there
