[B] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [A] _
[B] I _ _ [C#] can remember [B] stories, [C#] those things my mother [B] said.
She [C#] told me fairy [B] tales, [C#] before I went [F#m] to bed.
She spoke of happy endings, [B] then tucked me [A] in.
She turned my night [C#] light on, [G#m] and kissed my face goodnight.
My [C#] mind was filled with [B] visions, [C#] of perfect [B] paradise.
She [C#] told me [B] everything, she [C#] said he'd be [A] so nice.
He'd ride up on his horse and take me away.
[C#m] _ [F#m] I'd be so happy [B] when we [F#] ride the night [G#] aside.
She [C#] never said that [B] we would, cry and scream and laugh.
She [C#] never said that [B] maybe, [C#] someday he'd say [F#] goodbye.
[C#] The story [F] ends, as [A#m] stories do.
_ _ I [D#] step into [C] view, no longer [C#m] living life in paradise.
[F#] _ _ [C#] Or [B] fairy [C#] tales.

_ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _
[C#] _ _ [B] She [C#] spoke of other happy [B] names, of [C#] stories not [B] like this.
She [C#] said you'd slay all [B] dragons, [C#] defeat the evil [C#m] prince.
She [F#m] said you'd come to [A] save me, swim through the stormy seas.
I'd understand the [B] story, it [E] would be [B] funny.
You [C#] never came to [B] save me, you [A#m] let me stand [G#m] alone.
[C#] I would let _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
stories [A#m] do, _ [Fm] the story [A#m] ends, _ as to [C] be ruled.
No longer [C#m] living life in paradise.
