C G F
A dustland fairytale beginning, just another white trash county kiss
G Am C Csus4 C
In Sixty One, long brown hair and foolish eyes
G F
He looked just like you'd want him to, some kind of slick chrome American prince
G Am F F F/E
A blue jean serenade, moon river what you do to me
D/F#
But I don't believe you
Chorus:
G Am
Saw Cinderella in a party dress, but she was looking for a nightgown
G/B C D/G
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown
F C/E G#dim Am G/B C
I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a palm tonight
C G F
The change came in disguise of revelation set his soul on fire
G Am C
She says she always knew he'd come around
C/B Am
And the decades disappear like sinking ships that we persevere
Am/G F Am F C
God gives us hope, but we still fear, we don't know, the mind is poison
Am F
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalised
D/F#
The drawbridge is closing
Chorus:
G Am
Saw Cinderella in a party dress, but she was looking for a nightgown
G/B C G F
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown
C/E G#dim Am G/B C
I saw the ending when they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away
C/B G
Straight to the valley of the great divide
C C/B F
Out where the dreams all hide, out where the wind don't blow
C/B Am C/B C
Out here the good girls die, and the sky won't snow
C/B Am C/B F
Out here the bird don't sing, out here the field don't grow
C/B Am A/C# Dm
Out here the bell don't ring, out here the bell don't ring
C G
Out here the good girls die
Chorus:
Am
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge
G/B C G
Oh don't you know the kingdom's under siege, and everybody needs you
Am G C/B Am C/B C
Is there still magic in the midnight sun, or did you leave it back in Sixty One
G Am C
In the cadence of a young man's eyes, and where the dreams roll high
