-3 -2 -1 1 -1 -2 3 -3
What is it that we’re liv-ing for?
4* -5 5* -5
Ap-plause, Ap-plause.
4 4 4 -3 -2 -2 -2 -1
Noth-ing I know brings on the glow
-4 4 -3 3
like sweet ap-plause.
-2 -2 2 -2 3
You’re think-ing you’re through,
-2 -2 2 -2 -3*
that no-bod-y cares,
-2 -2 2 -2 -4 4 3 4 3
then sud-den-ly you hear it start-ing.
-3 -2 -1 1 -1 -2 3 -3
And some-how you’re in charge a-gain
4* -5 5* -5
and it’s a ball.
-6 -6 -6 -5 4 4 4 -3
Trum-pet’s all sing life seems to swing,
3 -3 3 -2 3 -3 -1 2
and you’re the king of it all ’cause
-2 -2 2 -2 3
you’ve had a taste of
-3 -3 3 -3 -3*
the sound that says love:
5 -6 5 -6 5 -6
Ap-plause, ap-plause, ap-plause!
