A Way Back To Then from the musical Title of Show
Sung by Heidi Blickenstaff :)
Capo 1
Asus2 A Asus2 A
Asus2 A
Dancing in the backyard
D F#m
Kool-aid moustache and butterfly wings
D F#m
Hearing Andrea McArdle sing
E D E
From the hi-fi in the den
D F#m E
I've been waiting my whole life
Asus2 A Asus2 A
To find a way back to then.
Asus2 A
I aimed for the sky
D F#m
A nine-year-old can see so far
D F#m
I'll conquer the world and be a star
E D E
I'll do it all by the time I'm ten
D F#m E
I would know that confidence
Asus2 A Asus2
If I knew a way back to then.
D F#m
So I bailed on my hometown and became a college theatre dork
D F#m
I was eastbound and down moving to New York
E D
So I crammed my life in a U-Haul
E Asus2 A Asus2 A
To find my part of it all.
Bsus2 B
But the mundane sets in
E G#m
We play by the rules and plough through the days
E G#m
The years take us miles away
F# E
From the time we wondered when
F# Bsus2 B
We'd find a way back to then.
E G#m
And when you least expect, opportunity walks through the door
E G#m E F#
You suddenly connect with the thing that you forgot
E F#
That you've been looking for
C
And there you are
Gsus2 G
Right in the middle of what you love
C G
With the craziest of company
C G
You're having a kick-ass time!
C G D
And being who you wanted to be in this world
C Am D
You're that little girl with her wings unfurled
G C G
Flying again...
C Em C D
Back in the backyard dancing
G C G
I found a way back to then.
