[Intro: A major, 124 BPM. Four bars of bright piano and a steady house pulse; strings enter softly. Instrumental.] [Verse 1: Amaj7 - C#m7 - Dmaj7 - E, one chord per bar. Close, conversational American phrasing; sparse piano and bass.] Used to save those pages Fold the corners down Dream about those dresses When no one was around Now somebody's calling And they're saying I'm up next One last look in the mirror Then I take a breath [Pre-Chorus: Bm7 - C#m7 - Dmaj7 - E. Add offbeat hi-hats; strings rise between vocal phrases.] There's a little shake in my hands But the fit is just right I can hear the beat through the wall Here comes my light [Chorus: Dmaj7 - E - C#m7 - F#m7, then Bm7 - E - Amaj7 - Amaj7. Clear melodic hook, open vowels; steady kick. Strings answer in the gaps.] I'm in full bloom Walking into the room All that light, all that space And I'm finding my pace I'm in full bloom Got nothing to prove Just a smile I can't hide And a whole new view I'm in full bloom [Post-Chorus: Keep the same pulse. Repeat a short piano motif; leave room after each line.] Look at the way it moves Look at the way it moves [Verse 2: Amaj7 - C#m7 - Dmaj7 - E. Return to an intimate vocal; melodic bass answers at line endings.] Ivory against my skin Black pleats brushing my knees Every time I turn around They catch a little breeze I don't have to rush it Let the moment take its time At the end I hold a second Let the cameras catch my smile [Pre-Chorus: Bm7 - C#m7 - Dmaj7 - E. Lift the piano register; keep the voice composed.] And the little shake in my hands Starts to settle down I can feel the cut of the cloth When I turn around [Chorus: Dmaj7 - E - C#m7 - F#m7, then Bm7 - E - Amaj7 - Amaj7. Preserve the first chorus melody and vocal register.] I'm in full bloom Walking into the room All that light, all that space And I'm finding my pace I'm in full bloom Got nothing to prove Just a smile I can't hide And a whole new view I'm in full bloom [Runway Break: Instrumental, 16 bars in 4/4. Repeat Amaj7 - C#m7 - Dmaj7 - E. First eight bars: electric bass steps forward over kick, clap and light hi-hats; piano stays clipped. Next eight: piano motif returns with flowing strings; drums add small open-hi-hat lifts. Guitars answer briefly. Maintain the walking pulse.] [Bridge: F#m7 - C#m7 - Dmaj7 - E. Pull back to bass, soft piano and a quiet kick; intimate voice, no belting.] For a second I can see her With those pages on the floor Trying on a world she wanted On the other side of the door Wish that I could tell her She can take her time I'm still that girl And this is my light [Final Chorus: Dmaj7 - E - C#m7 - F#m7, then Bm7 - E - Amaj7 - Amaj7. Full-model finale. Broader strings, brighter piano and stronger drums; keep the established lead melody and register. Light backing harmonies only at phrase endings.] I'm in full bloom Walking into the room All that light, all that space And I'm finding my pace I'm in full bloom Got nothing to prove Just a smile I can't hide And a whole new view I'm in full bloom [Outro: Amaj7 - Dmaj7 - E - Amaj7. Keep the pulse under the last lines; finish with a short piano-and-strings resolution.] Look at the way it moves Look at the way it moves I'm in full bloom
