Intro:
[D] [D] [D] [D]
Verse 1:
A dustland [D]fairytale be[D]ginning, just another [A]white trash county [G]kiss.
In 'Sixty-[D]One, long brown [D]hair and foolish [D]eyes.[D]
[D] He looked just like you'd [D]want him to - some kind of [A]slick chrome American [G]prince.
A [A]blue jean sere[Bm]nade, Moon [Bm]River, what you [G]do to me.[G]
But [E]I don't believe you.[E]
Chorus 1:
[D] Saw Cinder[D]ella in a party [Gmaj7/B]dress but she was [Gmaj7/B]looking for a nightgown.
[A] I saw the [A]devil wrapping up his [D]hands, he's getting [D/F#]ready for the showdown.
[G] I saw the [D/F#]minute that I [(D/Bb)]turned awa[Bm]y, I got my [A]money on a palm to[D]night.[D]
Verse 2:
The [D]change came in dis[D]guise of reve[A]lation set his [G]soul on fire.
She [D/A]says she always [Gmaj7/B]knew he'd come a[D]round.[D]
And the [D]decades disap[D]pear like sinking [Bm]ships that we persev[Bm]ere.
God gives us [G]hope, but we still [G/B]fear, we don't [D]know, the [D]mind is poison.
[Bm] Castles in the [Bm]sky sit stranded, [G]vandalised.[G]
The [E]drawbridge is closing.[E]
Chorus 2:
[D/A] Saw Cinder[D/A]ella in a party [Gmaj7/B]dress but she was [Gmaj7/B]looking for a nightgown.
[A] I saw the [A]devil wrapping up his [D]hands, he's getting [D/F#]ready for the showdown.
[G] I saw the [D/F#]ending when they [(D/Bb)]turned the [Bm]page, I threw my [A]money and I ran aw[D]ay.
Straight to the [D/F#]valley of the great div[A]ide.
Middle Eight:
[A] Out where the dreams all [D]hide, [D] out where the [(A)]wind don't [G]blow.
[G] Out here the [(A)]good girls [Bm]die, [Bm] and the [(A)]sky won't [D]snow.
[D] Out here the [(A)]bird don't [G]sing, [G] out here the [(A)]field don't [G]grow.
[G] Out here the [(A)]bell don't [Bm]ring, [B7] out here the bell don't [E]ring.[E7]
[G] [G] Out here the good girls [D/A]die.
Outro:
Now Cinder[D/A]ella don't you go to [Gmaj7/B]sleep, it's such a [Gmaj7/B]bitter form of refuge.
[A] Oh don't you [A]know the kingdom's under [D]siege? And [D/F#]everybody needs you.
[G] Is there still [D/F#]magic in the [(D/Bb)]midnight [Bm]sun? Or did you [A]leave it back in 'Sixty-[D]One?
In the [D/F#]cadence of a young man's [G]eyes, [G] and where the [(A)]dreams roll [D]high.
