[Opening]
[D]
A dustland [D]fairytale beginning, just another [A]white trash county [G]kiss.
In ‘Sixty-[D]One, long brown hair and foolish eyes.
[D]He looked just like you’d want him to - some kind of [A]slick chrome American [G]prince.
A [A]blue jean [Bm]serenade, Moon River, what you [G]do to me. But [E]I don’t believe you.
[section 2]
[D]Saw Cinderella in a party [G]dress [B]but she was [G]looking [B]for a nightgown.
[A]I saw the devil wrapping up his [D]hands, he’s getting ready for the showdown.
[G]I saw the [D]minute that I turned away, [Bm]I got my [A]money on a palm [D]tonight.
[section 3]
The [D]change came in disguise of reve[A]lation set his [G]soul on fire.
She [D]says she always [G]knew [B]he’d come [D]around.
And the [D]decades disappear like sinking [Bm]ships that we persevere.
God gives us [G]hope, but we still fear, we don’t [D]know, the mind is poison.
[Bm]Castles in the sky sit stranded, [G]vandalised. The [E]drawbridge is closing.
[section 4]
[D]Saw Cinderella in a party [G]dress [B]but she was [G]looking [B]for a nightgown.
[A]I saw the devil wrapping up his [D]hands, he’s getting ready for the showdown.
[G]I saw the [D]ending when they turned the [Bm]page, I threw my [A]money and I ran [D]away.
Straight to the [D]valley of the great [A]divide.
[section 5]
[A]Out where the dreams all [D]hide, out where the [A]wind don’t [G]blow.
[G]Out here the [A]good girls [Bm]die, and the [A]sky won’t [D]snow.
[D]Out here the [A]bird don’t [G]sing, out here the [A]field don’t [G]grow.
[G]Out here the [A]bell don’t [Bm]ring, [B]out here the bell don’t [E]ring.
[G]Out here the good girls [D]die.
[Closing]
Now [D]Cinderella don’t you go to [G]sleep, [B]it’s such a [G]bitter [B]form of refuge.
[A]Oh don’t you know the kingdom’s under [D]siege? And everybody needs you.
[G]Is there still [D]magic in the midnight [Bm]sun? Or did you [A]leave it back in ‘Sixty-[D]One?
In the [D]cadence of a young man’s [G]eyes, and where the [A]dreams roll [D]high.
