A
Where's the orchestra?
Am Am7 Am6 E/G#
Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?
G6 E5+/Ab A
Here I am in the balcony
Amaj7 E5+/Ab Em7 G/A
How the hell could I have missed the overture?
Dmaj7 B7
I like the scenery
Bm7 Dm E5+
Even though I have absolutely no

A
Idea at all
Am Am7 Am6 E/G#
What is being said despite the dialogue
G6 E5+/Ab A
There's the leading man
Amaj7 E5+/Ab Em7 G/A
The movie star who never faced an audience
Dmaj7 B7
Where's the orchestra?
Bm7
After all
F G C C/B
This is my big night on the town
Am7 Em
My introduction to the theatre crowd
F Bm7b5
I assumed that the show would have a song
E5+
So I was wrong
A
At least I understand
Am Am7 Am6 E/G#
All the innuendo and the irony
G6 E5+/Ab A
And I appreciate
Amaj7 E5+/Ab Em7 G/A
The roles the actors played, the point the author made
Dmaj7 B7(no3rd)
And after the closing lines
Cdim7 A/C# F#7sus F#7
And after the curtain calls
*G D/F#
The curtain falls
Dm/F E7 [A]
On empty chairs ... where's the orchestra?
