Key:
C Cadd9 F G C Cadd9 F G [Verse 1]
C Cadd9 F G Before you met me I was a fairy princess
C Cadd9 I caught frogs and called them prince
F G And made myself a queen
C Cadd9 F G And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
C Cadd9 And I slept in castles and fell in love
F G Because I was taught to dream [Pre-Chorus]
F C I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
F C To capture Tinker Bell
F C And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
F G But I could always tell [Chorus]
F C 'Cause I believe in fairy tales
F C And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails
Continues after the ad
F C And I believe in Peter Pan
F C G And miracles, anything I can to get by
C Cadd9 F G And fireflies [Verse 2]
C Cadd9 F G Now, before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
C Cadd9 And I could bless myself in your name
F G And pat you on your wings
C Cadd9 F G And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
C Cadd9 Well, life is hard and so is love
F G Child, believe in all these things [Pre-Chorus]
F C I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
F C To capture Tinker Bell
F C And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
F G But I could always tell [Chorus]
F C 'Cause I believe in fairy tales
F C And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails
F C And I believe in Peter Pan
F C G C Cadd9 And miracles, anything I can to get by
F G And fireflies
C Cadd9 F G C Cadd9 F G And firefli-i-i-----i-ies [Verse 3]
C Cadd9 F G Before you met me I was a fairy princess
C Cadd9 I caught frogs and called them prince
F G And made myself a queen
C Cadd9 F G And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
C Cadd9 And I slept in castles and fell in love
F G Because I was taught to dream
