Hey! This is my second tab. (Yay!) Before you play the song, I just have to cover a few things.
You can strum the chords, but plucking sounds more like the song.
To Pluck:
For the Gm chord: Low E string, G string and B string at the same time two times.
Then pluck the B string, G string and D string at different times(in that order.)
For the Cadd9 chord: A string, G string and B string at the same time two times.
Then pluck the B string, G string and D string at different times(in that order.)
For the Em7 chord: The same as the Cadd9 chord.
For the D chord: B string, G string and D string at the same time two times. Then
pluck the B string, G string and D string at different times (in that order.)

Gm Cadd9
Say you're sorry, that face of an angel

Comes out just when you need it to

Stupid girl, I should have known
I should have known
Chorus (if you want to, you can strum this part):
Gm Cadd9
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
Em7 D
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
Gm Cadd9
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
Em7 D
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Gm Cadd9 Em7 D
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around
Verse 2 (pluck):
Gm Cadd9
Baby I was naive, got lost in your eyes
Em7 D
And never really had a chance

I had so many dreams about you and me
Em7 D
Happy endings, now I know

Gm Cadd9
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale

I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well

This is a big world, that was a small town

There in my rearview mirror disappearing now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

Try and catch me now
Em7 D (strum down once)
Oh, it's too late to catch me now
