Intro:
Eb MajorEb
Spoken:
What was that?
Eb MajorEb
Was that me?
Was that him?
Did a prince really kiss me?
And kiss me?
And kiss me?
Bb majorBb
And did I kiss him back?
AbAb
Was it wrong?
A minorAm I mad?
Is that all?
Does he miss me?
GbGb
Was he suddenly
Getting bored with me?
Pre-Chorus:
Bb majorBb
Wake up!
Stop dreaming
Stop prancing about the woods
It's not beseeming
What is it about the woods?
Chorus:
Bb majorBb
Back to life, back to sense
Back to child, back to husband
FF
No one lives in the woods
Bb majorBb
There are vows, there are ties
There are needs, there are standards
AbAb
There are shouldn'ts and shoulds
Post-Chorus:
Bb majorBb
Why not both instead?
Eb MajorEb
There's the answer, if you're clever
Bb majorBb
Have a child for warmth
And a baker for bread
And a prince for whatever
Never!
Bb majorBb
It's these woods
Chorus:
Bb majorBb
Face the facts, find the boy
Join the group, stop the giant
FF
Just get out of these woods
Bb majorBb
Was that him?
Yes, it was
Was that me?
No, it wasn't
AbAb
Just a trick of the woods
Post-Chorus:
Bb majorBb
Just a moment
One peculiar passing moment
Bb majorBb
Must it all be either less or more?
Either plain or grand?
Is it always "or?"
Is it never "and?"
Eb MajorEb FF
That's what woods are for
Bb majorBb
For those moments in the woods
Bridge:
Eb MajorEb FF
Oh, if life were made of moments
Bb majorBb
Even now and then a bad one!
Eb MajorEb FF
But if life were only moments
Bb majorBb
Then you'd never know you had one
Chorus:
Bb majorBb
First a witch, then a child
Then a prince, then a moment
FF
Who can live in the woods?
Bb majorBb
And to get what you wish
Only just for a moment
AbAb
These are dangerous woods
Post-Chorus:
Bb majorBb
Let the moment go
Eb MajorEb
Don't forget it for a moment, though
Bb majorBb
Just remembering you've had an "and"
When you're back to "or"
Makes the "or" mean more
Than it did before
Eb MajorEb FF
Now I understand
Bb majorBb
And it's time to leave the woods
Outro:
