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 [Bm]hair and foolish [D]eyes.
[D] He looked just like you'd want him to - some kind of [A]slick chrome American [G]prince.
A [A]blue jean sere[Bm]nade, Moon [Bm]River, what [(A)]you [G]do to me.[G] [(G/F#)]
But [E]I don't believe you.[E]
Chorus 1:
[D/A] Saw Cinderella in a party [Gmaj7/B]dress but she was looking for a nightgown
[A/C#] I saw the devil wrapping up his [D]hands, he's getting [D/F#]ready for the showdown.
[G] I saw the [D/F#]minute that I [(Bm/Bb)]turned a[Bm]way, I got m[A]y money on a palm [D]tonight.
Verse 2:
The [D]change came in dis[D]guise of reve[A]lation set his [G]soul on fire.
A* Gmaj7/B G D
She says she always knew he'd come around.
And the [D]decades disappear like [D/C#]sinking [Bm]ships that we persev[Bm]ere.
God [A]gives us [G]hope, but we still [Bm]fear, [G]we don't [D]know, the 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 Cinderella in a party [Gmaj7/B]dress but she was looking for a nightgown
[A/C#] I saw the devil wrapping up his [D/A]hands, he's getting [D/F#]ready for the showdown.
[G] I saw the [D/F#]ending when they [Bm/Bb]turned the [Bm]page, I threw my [A/C#]money and I ran a[D]way
Straight to the [D/F#]valley of the great di[A]vide.
Middle Eight:
A A/E* D A G
Out where the dreams all hide, out where the wind don't blow.
[G] Out here the [G/F#]good girls [Bm]die, [Bm] and the s[A]ky won't [D]snow.
[D] Out here the [A]bird don'[G]t sing[G], out here the [A]field don't [G]grow.
[G] Out here the [A/C#]bell don't [Bm]ring,[B/Eb] out here the bell don't [E]ring.[E7]
[G] [G] Out here the good girls [D/A]die.
Outro-Chorus:
Now Cinder[D/A]ella don't you go to [Gmaj7/B]sleep, it's such a [Gmaj7/B]bitter form of refuge.
[A/C#] Oh don't you know the kingdom's under [D/A]siege? And [D/F#]everybody needs y[G]ou.
Is there still [D/F#]magic in the [Bm/Bb]midnight [Bm]sun? Or did you [A/C#]leave it back in 'Sixty-[D]One?
In the [D/F#]cadence of a young man's [G]eyes, and where the [A]dreams roll [D]high.
[D] [D] [D] [D]
and that's it! I hope this helped, don't forget to rate and comment!
