_ _ [G#m] _ [C#] _ _ _ [A] _ [B] _
_ [G#m] _ [C#] I can remember [G#m] stories, [C#] those things my mother [G#m] said.
[C#] She told me fairy [B] tales, [C#] before I went to [A] bed.
She spoke of happy endings, then tucked me in real tight.
She turned my nightlight [B] on, and kissed my face [G#m] goodnight.
[C#] My mind was filled with [G#m] visions, [C#] of perfect [B] paradise.
[C#] She told me everything, [B] [C#] she said he'd be so [A] nice.
He'd ride up on [E] his horse and take me away.
[G#m] _ [A] I'd be so happy, [B] [C] we'd ride the night [C#m] [B] aside.
[C#] She never said that we [G#m] would, [C#] cry and scream and [G#m] lie.
[C#] She never said [Fm] that [G#m] maybe [C#] someday [F#] he'd say goodbye.
[C#] The story [F] ends, [C#] as do our _ _ friends _ [G] _
of [D#] youth.
No longer living [C#] like paradise, _ [B] _ [C#] or fairy [G#m] [C#] tales.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [D#] _ _
[C] _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ _ _ [B] _ [C#] _
_ _ [B] [C#] She spoke about happy [B] endings, [C#] but stories not like [G#m] this.
[C#] She said he'd slay all [B] dragons, [C#] defeat the evil [C#m] prince.
[A] She said he'd come to save me, swim through [E] the stormy seas.
[A] I'd understand the [B] story, [E] it would be good for [G#m] me.
[C#] You never came to save [G#m] me, [C#] you let [A#m] me stand [G#m] alone.
[C#] _ _ _ [B] _ [C#] _
_ _ The story ends, [F] _
as do _ [Fm] _ our [C#] [A#m] friends _ of [D#] youth.
No longer living [C#] like paradise, [B] or [C#] _ fairy [G#m] [C#] tales.
_ _ [B] _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ [G#m] _
_ _ [E] I don't look [B] up high up in the [F#m] sky, baby.
[B] Need [C#] reality now, [E] so that I don't feel the [G#m] need to breathe.
I [F#m] don't sense [B] why _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] [C#] you never [B] came to save me.
[C#m] You let [B] me stand alone, [F] I've been misled [C#] and [B] misled.
[C#]
No _ [A] _ _ magic potion, no horse [F#m] with a wing to fly.
[A] I vowed the poison [B] apple, [G#] my destiny to [B] die.
[C#] No royal kiss could save [F#] me, [A#m] no magic spell to [G#m] spin.
[C#] My fantasy is [G#m] now [F] _
_ [C#] beginning.
The story ends, the [D#] story's [A#m] through.
[C#] We had a [A#m] _
friend to be [Cm] you.
