Capo 1

G... Dm7... F... Am... G... Dm7... F. C. F...

G...                  Dm7...
  Cinderella's on her bedroom floor, she's got a
F...                      Am...
  crush on the guy at the liquor store
G...                            Dm7...
  Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
           F.           C.   F...
And she forgets why she came here
G...                     Dm7...
  Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood, for shame
           F...                          Am...
She says, "None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
G...                        Dm7...                  F.           C.        F...
  I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming"

Am. G.    F.   C.       Am.   G.   F.    C.
Cause I   don't care for your fai - ry - tales
          G...                                Dm7...
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
                          Am.  G.   F...   C...        F...  C...
she's only waiting on the next best thing,   next best thing

G...                  Dm7...
  Snow White is doing dishes again cause
     F...
What else could you do
           Am...
With seven itty-bitty men?
G...                        Dm7...
  Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend
               F.         C.        F...
Says would you meet me at midnight?
G...                         Dm7...
  The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
           F...                    Am...
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
G...                        Dm7...             
  I'll have to find another tower somewhere
          F.           C.       F...
and keep away from the windows

Am. G.    F.   C.       Am.   G.   F.    C.
Cause I   don't care for your fai - ry - tales
          G...                                Dm7...
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
                          Am.  G.   F...   C...        F...  C...
she's only waiting on the next best thing,   next best thing

G...                  Dm7...
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
F...                           Am...
Man made up a story, said that I should believe him
G...                                    Dm7...
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
    F.               C.        F...
But I don't want the next best thing, so I sing
  Am.  G. F.   C.         Am.   G.    F.    C.
I hold my head down and I break these walls round me
F...               C...      F...      Dm7...
Can't take no more   of your fairytale love

Am. G.    F.   C.       Am.   G.   F.    C.
