"Fairytale"
by Sara Bareilles
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
Dm7
For shame she says
F Am
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
[Chorus:]
Am G F C Am G F
I don't care for your fairytales
G C
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
Dm7 Am G F
She's only waiting on the next best thing
F
next best thing
G
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
Dm7
What else could you do
F Am
With seven itty-bitty men?
G Dm7
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend
F C F
Says will 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 F C F
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
[Chorus]
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
F
So I sing
G Dm7 F Am
I hold my head down and I break these walls round me
F Dm7
Can't take no more of your fairytale love
Am G F
I don't care
C Am G F
For your fairytales
G C
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
Dm7
She's only waiting

spent the whole life being
G F Am G
graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
F
Appreciation
Am G F Am
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
G F Am
Cause I don't want the next best thing
G F Am
No no I don't want the next best thing
