A                            Em 
I wanna move with the seasons and go with the flow 
 G                D 
take it easy and let stuff go 
          A                    Em 
I wanna sleep like a baby and rise with the sun 
  G                   D 
kick it all back and get nothing done 
         A                  Em 
I wanna make this day the longest day 
          G 
with a warmth that delivers happiness 

         D 
If only for today 
        A                G 
I wanna be the girl who got away 
                       D 
The lover who really loved 
                  A                 G 
the dancer who danced to the last song 

  A                   Em 
Don't wanna take sides, don't wanna make sense 
G                  D 
of pounds and pence 
          A                   Em 
I want to be alone, I don't wanna hide 
         G                          D 
I don't want to be talked over or walked upon 
            A                  Em 
I want to think the heart is bigger than the head 
          G 
I wanna follow you but not be led 

         D 
If only for today 
        A                G 
I wanna be the girl who got away 
                       D 
The lover who really loved 
                  A                 G 
the dancer who danced to the last song 

                           D 
I know what it's like to be passed over 
     A                   Em 
to go unnoticed, to be clumsy get things wrong 
    G                       D 
And I know what it's like to arrive too late 
     G 
to be told to leave, to be walked upon 

         D 
If only for today 
        A                G 
I wanna be the girl who got away 
                       D 
The lover who really loved 
                  A                 G 
the dancer who danced to the last song
