Piano Accompaniment in F#/Gb Major
Turn on CC/Subtitles for Karaoke lyrics.
Door Number Three is a song by Sara Bareilles which was originally written for the Broadway musical Waitress. It features on both her album 'What's Inside : Songs from Waitress' and also on 'What's Not Inside : The Lost Songs from Waitress'. This is the 'What's Inside' version, which is exactly the same only a couple of beats per minute quicker.
Lyrics :
Door number two
It's for you, little lady
Is it all that you dreamed of?
How, if I knew, would've been there waiting
I'd have screamed out and jumped up
Now here I am
With my feet on the sand
And a body that won't move
The tide's coming in
And I'm bound for a swim
In a pair of cement shoes
He takes what he can, what he wants
Doesn't matter if it's ever been given
I took the bait and a chance on a man
Sold by the boy that he lived in
And I was wrong to believe that strength makes you strong
And I had hope in a change I would see in us both
And now I'm heavy
And he lifts me, but never once carried
Door number two I've already walked through
Ask me the question
Who coulda guessed I'd be here at this crossroad?
Plain to be seen that it's all up to me
I'm no longer alone, though
Nothing's changed
And I see it more every day
Nothing moves
It's a game to be played and to lose
And now I'm heavy, unsteady
But maybe I'm getting ready
And this might catch fire and char this ground
I might lift this up
To only be the one who's gonna get let down
Will I be enough to get this on its way to find some higher ground?
Before the waters rush
I've got to make a change or else I know I'll drown
Baby, look around
Door number two I've already walked through
I wanna see what's behind door number three

LYRICS
Meat:
A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in Heaven
Do you want us to cry
And everywhere the broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No one could reach them
No one but you
One by one
Only the good die young
Theyre only flying to close to the sun
Life goes on
Without you
Another tricky situation
I get to drowning in the blues
And I find myself thinking
What would you do?
Yes, it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation (sensation!)
You found a way through (found a way through)
All:
And one by one
Only the good die young
Theyre only flying too close to the sun
Meat:
Well remember, forever
And now the party must be over
I guess well never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was it the way it was planned?
And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
Theres a face at the window
And I aint never, never saying goodbye
All:
One by one
Only the good die young
Theyre only flying too close to the sun
Meat:
Crying for nothing
Crying for no one
No one but you

Lyrics :
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
Theres a rainbow highway to be found,
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun,
Just a step beyond the rain.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
Theres a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday Ill wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops,
Thats where youll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why cant I?
(Interlude)
Someday Ill wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops,
Thats where youll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why cant I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh why cant I?")

Lyrics :
One quick smile and Im glad I know you
You unlock the secret me that I couldnt see
Only you
Lonely you
See me as I am and hope to be
Im sky-high and I long to show you
My whole world is altered
Yet, I dont say a thing
Only you
Lonely you
Show me how my lonely heart can sing
Look what I missed
I was so blind
You were always in plain sight
Out of my dreams
Into the light
Nothings the same now
Everythings bright
Everything wrong seems right
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
Right beside me all this time
But I never knew
Only you
Lonely you
And I sense that you can feel it too
Why dont I speak?
Say it out loud?
Tell you how I really feel?
You were right there
Five feet away
Why was I tongue-tied?
Ever so dull
When I really want to say
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
You were born to change my life
But I never knew
Only you
Lonely you
And Ill find a way to make you see
Only you can rescue lonely me
The show opened in London at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in April/May 2021.
This is a piano accompaniment I have made by ear. I hope you like it.

Lyrics :
[ADAM]
Look at this crib
In all of its glorious antiquary
Every curve and surface speaks to me
Saying pamper and spoil me
Sand me and oil me
Come on
I know to the untrained eye it’s boring
But nothing’s a chore when you’re restoring
Apart from frustration, pain, and financial drain
It’s fun!
Folks say Adam
Why do you polish your crib when you don’t have a kid?
And even if you did have a kid,
This crib is too precious for placing a baby inside it
So it simply exists to remind you
Your sense of perfection is just a reflection that you are not mentally prepared to make room for a kid
Adam, why don’t you live?
Adam, just make a start
Are you willing to take the next step?
Ready, set-
Ready, set-
[BARBARA, spoken]
Look at these jugs!
(sung)
Amazingly glazed and terracotta-ery
I took some clay and made you pottery
The world will never wreck you
Ill protect you in a mothers embrace
Folks say, Barbara
Why can’t you see that ceramics is simply a manifestation of motherly panic
By making a baby thats breakable
Arent you creating a way of translating the terror of making maternal mistakes into clay
Hiding away so you dont have to face being a bad mom
Barbara
Thats what youve done, Barbara
Just make a start
Are you willing to take the next step?
Ready, set-
[BOTH]
Here we stand
At the end of a 10-year plan
A house, a yard, a minivan
A baby should be next
Together lets leap off the cliff
Fall forever, then smash to bits
Trapped in a terrifying viper pit
Of diapers and regret
Are we willing to take the next step?
[ADAM]
Ready, set-
[BARBARA]
Ready, set-
[ADAM]
Not yet
[BARBARA]
Not yet
[ADAM]
Why rush?
[BARBARA]
Why rush?
[BOTH]
Soon enough, our hopes and our dreams will be crushed
[BARBARA]
But not yet!
[ADAM]
But not yet!
[BARBARA]
Not now

(FLOORBOARD CREAKS)
[ADAM, spoken]
See?
We cant start a family in a house with creaky floorboards
[BARBARA]
You are absolutely right
Lets add it to the list
With the cracks in the plaster
[ADAM]
The wi-fi should be faster
[BARBARA]
This sofa needs a castor
[ADAM]
The bathroom’s a disaster!
[BARBARA]
What about global poverty?
[ADAM]
What about world peace?
[BARBARA]
Then there’s the whole darn economy
[ADAM]
The whole Middle East
[BARBARA]
We should learn Mandarin
[ADAM]
Yeah!
Or Spanish at least.
[BOTH]
No habla español
Dos cervezas por favor
And that’s all we got
And that’s not a lot
Do we want a bilingual household or not?
So let’s go slow
No breaking a sweat
What’s the point of having children
If we’re drowning in debt?
[BARBARA]
Now we’re totally
[ADAM]
Completely
[BARBARA]
Maybe eighty percent
[ADAM]
Id say seventy-eight
[BOTH/(BEETLEJUICE)]
Ready to take
The next step (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah Yeah!)
The next step (Zooby dooby dooby, dooby dop and bow!)
The next step (Zweeby, beeby, boo-bah-bah-dee!)
The next step
Ready, set let’s-
[BEETLEJUICE]
See I wasnt kidding
Its a show about death!

The Accompanist has created a collection of Piano Accompaniments of Musical Theatre and Popular music songs.
These Broadway and West End accompaniments have been specifically performed to match the tempos of the original (cast) recordings where possible. These karaoke style tracks have been created to give the audition performer the sound of what is likely within an audition environment where often we are not faced with a full orchestra but simply a pianist. Therefore the songs can sound very different to the fully orchestrated version.
The tracks are designed to be used either in performance or as practice for auditions. You are more than welcome to use the track to create your own YouTube cover of the song. If you could put a link back to this video in your description that would be amazing of you. Im creating a playlist on my channel page of covers using The Accompanists tracks so let me know if you do a cover using it and Ill add it to this channels covers playlist.
