No Fairy Tale

[Verse 1]
  A                                
A prince in the summer was a drag 
      E
in the spring.
Bm            D            E    
How could you know that he took 
        A
off his ring?
                     A             
And, every thing you wanted behind 
           E
the castle   wall.
       Bm            D           
And, a hundred white horses were 
E            A
stuck in the stall.


[Chorus]
        D     A              
It's no fairy tale, there's no 
  D          A
breadcrumb trail
   D        A            E       
To lead you back, that's just as 
A
well.
D        A      E      A
That's a better one to tell.

[Verse 2]
    A                              
You tried, but, you can't bear the 
              E
weight of the glitter and the glue.
        Bm           D            
So, you lie down and dream of the 
E               A
kiss that would wake you.
     A                             
And, once upon a time can lead to a
 E
 hapless ever after.
              Bm        D     E  
And, when the tears are real, so 
       A
is the laughter.


[Chorus]
        D     A              
It's no fairy tale, there's no 
  D          A
breadcrumb trail
   D        A            E       
To lead you back, that's just as 
A
well.
D       A                  D    
You can close the book and curse
     A
 the turn it took.
     D             A        E    
And, tell the true story of how 
   A
you fell.
D        A      E      A
That's a better one to tell.


[Bridge]
    Bm                           
And,    when it's told the leaves 
     D
are turning red and gold.
            Bm                   
And, no one had to come along and 
          G
cast the spell.


[Chorus]
D             A     D      
It's no fairy tale, there's no 
               A
breadcrumb trail
   D        A            E       
To lead you back, that's just as 
A
well.
    D       A                  D 
And you can close the book and 
        A
curse the turn it took.
     D             A        E    
And, tell the true story of how 
   A
you fell.
D        A      E      A
That's a better one to tell.
Dm       A      E      A
That's a better one to tell.
