Am D7
I got my invitation to the annual Levity Ball
Seeing the location was within my mirrored hall
C D7 C (D7sus4 D7 D7sus2)
Walking in my room I found that I had nothing to find
I got into my evening wear and left my clothes behind
Am D7 Am D7
I sat down on the stairway seven hours at a time
C D7 C (D7sus4 D7 D7sus2)
Writing all of this poetry that I knew would never rhyme
Am D7 Am D7
The memory I knew, I must have had when I came in
C D7 C (D7sus4 D7 D7sus2)
Was of some varied places where I'd never ever been
(Am jam with bass notes: E,D#,D,C#,C,B,A#,A)
Am D7
Then in came a cake all decorated in my name
Am D7
With four paper brown candles, all spelling out the same
C D7 C (D7sus4 D7 D7sus2)
The clock was passing out from time to time, I saw it all
C D7 C (D7sus4 D7 D7sus2)
Beginning of the ending for my first Levity Ball
