Capo 6
Tonight imagine me gown and all
Fetchingly draped against the wall
The picture of sophisticated grace
Ooh! I suddenly see him standing there
A beautiful stranger, tall and fair
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face
But then we laugh and talk all evening,
Which is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I've lead so far
For the first time in forever
There'll be magic, there'll be fun
For the first time in forever
I could be noticed by someone
And I know it is totally crazy
To dream I'd find romance
But for the first time in forever
C
At least I've got a chance
Em Am
[Elsa:]
Am Em
Don't let them in, don't let them see

Conceal, don't feel, put on a show
Dm G Am
Make one wrong move and everyone will know
[Pre-Chorus]

But it's only for today
