The Grand Finale

The eternal dating problem as we seek partners or reject them.
LYRICS & CHORDS:
(Am) He thought it was the beginning
As he (G) settled in his chair
The (Am) overture was playing
But (G) he was unaware
Life (F) isn’t often what it seems
In the (Am) audience at the Halle
What you (G) think is a commencement
May (F) be the (G) Grand Fi(Am)nale
(Am) She’d accepted his invitation
Though the (G) classics weren’t her thing
A (Am) symphony was just enough
Thank (G) Christ that no one sings
An (F) Opera would have turned her off
Or some (Am) ballet with a swan
But the (G) question on her mind, of course
Was (F) “Did he (G) turn her (Am) on?”
(Am) He tried to play the gentleman
But (G) sex was on his mind
He (Am) spent half of the interval
(G) Staring at her behind
(F) If he tried it on tonight
Would she (Am) think he was a jerk
And (G) how’d he cope with rejection
When they (F) met a(G)gain at (Am) work
(Am) She thought of him more as a friend
His (G) company was nice
But (Am) with that sly look in his eye
She (G) didn’t plan to see him twice.
No, (F) friendship, if he wants it
But (Am) that’s as far as it goes
There’s (G) no way she could see herself
With (F) him and (G) without (Am) clothes
(Am) So there was no grand finale
As he'd (G) hoped that there would be
He (Am) dropped her off at midnight
No invi(G)tation up for tea
She (F) didn’t give him a second thought
As she (Am) slipped between the sheets
You (G) win some and you lose some
Let’s (F) call this (E) one a de(Am)feat

Nothing less than Grandiloquent for the Halle (a famous concert hall in Manchester, England) 😜

Hahaha! Some great lyrics in there, Berni. You made me proper laugh a couple of times. Fantastic operatic vocal at the grand finale!
