"No Fairy Tale"
[Intro]
D A E A
D A E A
[Verse 1]
A E
A prince in the summer was a drag in the spring.
Bm D E A
How could you know that he took off his ring?
A E
And, every thing you wanted behind the castle wall.
Bm D E A
And, a hundred white horses were stuck in the stall.
[Chorus]
D A D A
It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail
D A E A
To lead you back, that's just as well.
D A E A
That's a better one to tell.
[Verse 2]
A E
You tried, but, you can't bear the weight of the glitter and the glue.
Bm D E A
So, you lie down and dream of the kiss that would wake you.
A E
And, once upon a time can lead to a hapless ever after.
Bm D E A
And, when the tears are real, so is the laughter.
[Chorus]
D A D A
It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail
D A E A
To lead you back, that's just as well.
D A D A
You can close the book and curse the turn it took.
D A E A
And, tell the true story of how you fell.
D A E A
That's a better one to tell.
[Bridge]
Bm D
And, when it's told the leaves are turning red and gold.
Bm G
And, no one had to come along and cast the spell.
[Chorus]
D A D A
It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail
D A E A
To lead you back, that's just as well.
D A D A
And you can close the book and curse the turn it took.
D A E A
And, tell the true story of how you fell.
D A E A
That's a better one to tell.
Dm A E A
That's a better one to tell.
