the alphabet
Em Bm
You dance a pirouette
C
in my head
C
A chance remark
Cdim7/A
be- come the spark
Em Bm
And maybe luck
C
has come again
C* Emadd9+5/C
The hint of a smile,
C* Emadd9+5/C
the accidental rhyme
C* D
That captured me
E
the first time
C
And I know,
Em9/D
you've got to fight the plan
E
You've got to bend the rules
C
And I know,
Em9/D
you've got to be your own man
E
You've got to make the rules

You stare on in a mansion for the weekend
C D E
We go on making moments last a lifetime
C D E
We live on in the promises we keep, Ooh
