G G7
Oh I took a wrong turn, it was the right turn
C G
My turn to have me a ball
G
Boys at the shop told me just where to stop
D G
If I wanted to play for it all
C G
I didn't know I'd find her on daytime TV
C G D G
My whole world lies waiting behind door number three
G G7
I chose my apparel, I wore a big barrel
C G
And they rolled me to the very first row
G
I held a big sign that said, "Kiss me I'm a baker
D G
And Monty I sure need the dough"
C G C
Then I grabbed him by the throat until he called on me
C G D G
'Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
C G
And I don't want what Jay's got on his table
C G
Or the box Carol Merrill points to on the floor
C G
No I'll hold out just as long as I am able
A7 D
Or until I can unlock that lucky door
C
Well, she's no big deal to most folks
G
But she's everything to me
C G D G
'Cause my whole world lies waiting behind door number three
C G
And ain't it hard to realize
C G
He's not selling any alibis
C G
When you stare in the vacuum of his eyes
A7 D
And he says, "Do you want to make a deal?"
C
They found us in the lost and found
G
Love is blind but now I see
C G D G
That my whole world is waiting behind door number three
C G D G
Yes my whole world is waiting behind door number three
Oh I took a wrong turn, it was the right turn
C G
My turn to have me a ball
G
Boys at the shop told me just where to stop

I didn't know I'd find her on daytime TV
