CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C Cadd9 F G C Cadd9 F G
[Verse 1]
C Cadd9 F G
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
C Cadd9
I caught frogs and called them prince
F G
And made myself a queen
C Cadd9 F G
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
C Cadd9
And I slept in castles and fell in love
F G
Because I was taught to dream
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
F C
To capture Tinker Bell
F C
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
F G
But I could always tell
[Chorus]
F C
'Cause I believe in fairy tales
F C
And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails
F C
And I believe in Peter Pan
F C G
And miracles, anything I can to get by
C Cadd9 F G
And fireflies
[Verse 2]
C Cadd9 F G
Now, before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
C Cadd9
And I could bless myself in your name
F G
And pat you on your wings
C Cadd9 F G
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
C Cadd9
Well, life is hard and so is love
F G
Child, believe in all these things
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
F C
To capture Tinker Bell
F C
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
F G
But I could always tell
[Chorus]
F C
'Cause I believe in fairy tales
F C
And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails
F C
And I believe in Peter Pan
F C G C Cadd9
And miracles, anything I can to get by
F G
And fireflies
C Cadd9 F G C Cadd9 F G
And firefli-i-i-----i-ies
