Sad Cinderella

G  F  C

[verse]
C                     G           
when the bandits have stolen your 
F             C
jewellery and gone
         F                       
and your crippled young gypsy has 
                C
grown tall and strong
         F          G           
and your dead misconceptions have 
   F          C
proven you wrong
           C                  
well then, Princess, where you 
 F                G
planning to turn to?

[verse 2]
          C         G         F  
when your magazine memory has 
      C
spun you around
         F                      
and you realise your lovers were 
              C
just painted clowns
    F            G          F    
and outside your window you start
         C
 hearing sounds
      C                  F        
where they're building a cross for
         G
 to burn you


     F               G             
when all your bright scarlet turns 
C         F
slowly to blue
         G                         
will you stop and decide that it's 
F      C
over?

[verse 3]
          C             G        
when your tear drops go sour and 
F         C
no longer fall
   F                           
to splash cross the virgin that 
                C
lives down the hall
    F              G              
and spends all her nights with an 
F           C
ear to your wall
     C                   F        
well then, what will you have you 
    G
can offer?

[verse 4]
C                     G          
when the fire dancers finish and 
F         C
leave you alone
     F                           
with nothing but embers and sacks 
         C
full of stone
     F                G            
that hang 'round your neck slicing 
F              C
through to the bone
     C          F            
will there be a place for your 
  G
laughter?


     F               G             
when all your bright scarlet turns 
C         F
slowly to blue
         G                         
will you stop and decide that it's 
F      C
over?

[verse 5]
C                    G           
when your shattered illusions 
    F        C
come a-tumbling home
    F                          
and all of your butchers you've 
                C
nourished have grown
    F                G       F   
and they're suddenly able to 
      C
leave you alone
         C        F               
and they run like slaves that are 
    G
set free

[verse 6]
C                        G       
when your questions are answered 
         F           C
and your pleading is done
         F                      
and your mind starts a-screaming 
                    C
that you ain't the one
     F                   G        
that once dwelled within you, will
     F              C
 you turn? will you run?
     C                       F    
But, Princess, will you come home 
        G
and get me?


     F               G             
when all your bright scarlet turns 
C         F
slowly to blue
         G                         
will you stop and decide that it's 
F      C
over?
