Into The Woods - Moments In The Woods

      [Intro]
Eb

[Spoken]
What was that?
Eb
Was that me?

Was that him?

Did a prince really kiss me?

And kiss me?

And kiss me?
        Bb
And did I kiss him back?
       Ab
Was it wrong?

Am I mad?

Is that all?

Does he miss me?
       Gb
Was he suddenly

Getting bored with me?

[Pre-Chorus]
     Bb
Wake up!

Stop dreaming

Stop prancing about the woods

It's not beseeming

What is it about the woods?

[Chorus]
        Bb
Back to life, back to sense

Back to child, back to husband
       F
No one lives in the woods
          Bb
There are vows, there are ties

There are needs, there are standards
          Ab
There are shouldn'ts and shoulds

[Post-Chorus]
        Bb
Why not both instead?
                              Eb
There's the answer, if you're clever
       Bb
Have a child for warmth

And a baker for bread

And a prince for whatever

Never!
     Bb
It's these woods

[Chorus]
         Bb
Face the facts, find the boy

Join the group, stop the giant
         F
Just get out of these woods
         Bb
Was that him?

Yes, it was

Was that me?

No, it wasn't
       Ab
Just a trick of the woods

[Post-Chorus]
       Bb
Just a moment

One peculiar passing moment
                      Bb
Must it all be either less or more?

Either plain or grand?

Is it always "or?"

Is it never "and?"
            Eb              F
That's what woods are for
                         Bb
For those moments in the woods

[Bridge]
       Eb                        F
Oh, if life were made of moments
                    Bb
Even now and then a bad one!
       Eb                     F
But if life were only moments
                          Bb
Then you'd never know you had one

[Chorus]
        Bb
First a witch, then a child

Then a prince, then a moment
        F
Who can live in the woods?
       Bb
And to get what you wish

Only just for a moment
          Ab
These are dangerous woods

[Post-Chorus]
        Bb
Let the moment go
                      Eb
Don't forget it for a moment, though
                        Bb
Just remembering you've had an "and"

When you're back to "or"

Makes the "or" mean more

Than it did before
      Eb           F
Now I understand
                           Bb
And it's time to leave the woods

[Outro]
Bb
