[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
A dustland [D]fairytale beginning
Or just another [A]white trash county [G]kiss
In sixty-[A]one, long brown [Bm]hair and foolish [D]eyes
[D]He looks just like you want him to
Some kind of [A]slick chrome American [G]prince
A [A]blue jean sere[Bm]nade
And Moon River what'd you [G]do to me
And [E]I don't believe you

[Chorus 1]
[D]Saw Cinderella in a party dre[G]ss
But she was looking for a night [A]gown
I saw the devil wrapping up his [D]hands
He's getting [F#m]ready for the show [G]down
I saw the [D]minute that I [F#]turn a[Bm]way
I got my [A]money on a pawn to[D]night

[Verse 2]
[D]Change came in disguise of reve[A]la tion
Set his [G]soul on fire
She [A]said she'd always [Bm]knew
he'd [G]come a[D]round
And the [D]decades disappear like sinking [Bm]ships
We persevere, God gives us [G]hope
But we still [Bm]fear, [G]we don't [D]know
The mind is poison
[Bm]Castles in the sky sit stranded vand[G]alized
The [E]draw bridge is closing

[Chorus 2]
[D]Saw Cinderella in a party dre[G]ss
But she was looking for a night [A]gown
I saw the devil wrapping up his [D]hands
He's getting [F#m]ready for the show [G]down
I saw the [D]ending when they [F#]turned the [Bm]page
I threw my [A]money and I ran a[D]way
Straight to the [F#m]valley of the great di[A]vide
Out were the [Em]dreams all

[Bridge 1]
[D]hide
And were the [A]wind don't [G]blow
Out here the [F#m]good girls d[Bm]ie
And the [A]sky won't [D]snow
Out here the [D]bird don't [G]sing
Out here the [A]field don't [G]grow
Out here the [A]bell don't [Bm]ring
[B]Out here the bell don't rin[Em]g
[G]Out here the good girls

[Outro 1]
[A](die) Now Cinderella don't you go to [Bm]sleep
It's such a bitter form of re[A]fuge
Oh, don't you know
the kingdom's under [D]siege
And everybody needs [G]you
Is there still [F#m]magic in the [F#]midnight [Bm]sun
Or did you [A]leave it back in sixty-[D]one
In the cadence of the young mans [G]eyes
And were the [A]dreams roll [D]high
[D][D][D]
[D][D][D][D]
