Before It's Over from the musical Dogfight (Pasek and Paul)
[Intro]
C7sus4/G F(add4)
[Verse 1]
C7sus4/G F(add4) C7/E
An awkward girl with her guitar keeping to herself
Am7 G F2
Friday nights alone with the records on her shelf
G2/B C2
A waitress pouring ginger ale and coke
Am7 Gadd4 F2
Someone you ask out as a joke
C7sus4/G Fadd4
I've been that girl who fades away
C7/E
Accepting what I've got
Am7 G F2
Stuck in what I am and everything I'm not
G2/B C2
I've only seen this tiny world I'm in
F/A G7/B Cmaj7/E F(add2)
where I can only be what I've been
[Chorus]
D / C# / B / A
See a world beautiful and strange
G2
Spinning off somewhere saying "Meet me there"
D / C# / B / A
Look look how fast it runs away singing
Bb6/9 F2/A
"Follow close and reach for me"
Gm7 Bbmaj9/F Eb2 Bb2/D Dbmaj9
See that you've got so much more for to be
C2 D(add4) F2
Before it's over,
C2 D(add4) F6/9
before it's over.
[Verse 2]
Gm7 F(add4)
I can't go write another song
C7sus4/E
I'm too afraid to play
Am7
Or dream how things can change
G(add4) F2
but only see what's in my way
G2/B C2 C
Can't go back to what I was before
F2/A G7/B C Cmaj7/E Fmaj9
now that I can see so much more
[Chorus]
D / C# / B / A
See a world beautiful and strange
G2
On a one way track and it won't come back
D / C# / B / A
Look look how fast it runs away
Bb6/9 F2/A
singing "Follow close and reach for me"
Gm7 Bmaj9/F Eb2 Bb2/D Dbmaj9
See that you've got so much more to be
Cmaj9 F2/C C2
Before it's over
[Bridge]
C2/Bb F2/A
I never even knew a world was waiting
C/G Am
Somehow something awful made that world appear
Ab2 C/E
Maybe this sounds crazy but I'm happy that it happened
Am9 Cmaj9/G
Happy that I came
Bb2
Happy that I'm here
[Chorus]
C / B / A / G
I can see a world beautiful and strange
Fmaj9
Can you see it too?
C / B / A / G
It's so close don't let it get away
Ab6/9
There's so much to do
C / B / A / G F2
Before it's over
[Outro]
Fmaj9 C
