Verse 1:
D D A G
A dustland fairytale beginning, just another white trash county kiss.
D Bm D
In 'Sixty-One, long brown hair and foolish eyes.
D A G
He looked just like you'd want him to - some kind of slick chrome American prince.
A Bm Bm (A) G G (G/F#)
A blue jean serenade, Moon River, what you do to me.
E E
But I don't believe you.

Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown

D D A G
The change came in disguise of revelation set his soul on fire.
A* Gmaj7/B G D
She says she always knew he'd come around.
D D/C# Bm Bm
And the decades disappear like sinking ships that we persevere.
A G Bm G D
God gives us hope, but we still fear, we don't know, the mind is poison.
Bm Bm G G
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalised.
E E
The drawbridge is closing.
Chorus 2:
D/A Gmaj7/B
Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown
A/C# D/A D/F#
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.
G D/F# Bm/Bb Bm A/C# D
I saw the ending when they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away
D/F# A
Straight to the valley of the great divide.
Middle Eight:
A A/E* D A G
Out where the dreams all hide, out where the wind don't blow.
G G/F# Bm Bm A D
Out here the good girls die, and the sky won't snow.
D A G G A G
Out here the bird don't sing, out here the field don't grow.
G A/C# Bm B/Eb E E7
Out here the bell don't ring, out here the bell don't ring.
G G D/A
Out here the good girls die.
Outro-Chorus:
D/A Gmaj7/B Gmaj7/B
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge.
A/C# D/A D/F# G
Oh don't you know the kingdom's under siege? And everybody needs you.
D/F# Bm/Bb Bm A/C# D
Is there still magic in the midnight sun? Or did you leave it back in 'Sixty-One?
D/F# G A D
In the cadence of a young man's eyes, and where the dreams roll high.
