"Fairytale"
by Sara Bareilles


G G Dm7 Dm7
Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
Dm7 Dm7
She's got a
F F Am Am
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
G G Dm7 Dm7
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
F F C C F F
And she forgets why she came here
G G Dm7 Dm7
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
Dm7 Dm7
For shame she says
F F Am Am
None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
G G Dm7 Dm7 F F C C F F
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

[Chorus:]
Am Am G G F F C C Am Am G G F F
I don't care for your fairytales
G G C C
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
Dm7 Dm7 Am Am G G F F
She's only waiting on the next best thing
F F
next best thing

G G
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
Dm7 Dm7
What else could you do
F F Am Am
With seven itty-bitty men?
G G Dm7 Dm7
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend
F F C C F F
Says will you meet me at midnight?
G G Dm7 Dm7
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
F F Am Am
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
G G Dm7 Dm7 F F C C F F
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows

[Chorus]

G G Dm7 Dm7
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
F F Am Am
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
G G Dm7 Dm7
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
F F C C F F
But I don't want the next best thing
F F
So I sing
G G Dm7 Dm7 F F Am Am
I hold my head down and I break these walls round me
F F Dm7 Dm7
Can't take no more of your fairytale love


Am Am G G F F
I don't care
C C Am Am G G F F
For your fairytales
G G C C
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
Dm7 Dm7
She's only waiting
Am Am
spent the whole life being
G G F F Am Am G G
graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
F F
Appreciation
Am Am G G F F Am Am
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
G G F F Am Am
Cause I don't want the next best thing
G G F F Am Am
No no I don't want the next best thing
