G
maybe I was naive,
Cadd9
got lost in your eyes
Em7 Cadd9
and never really had a chance
G Cadd9
my mistake I didn’t know to be in love
Em7 Cadd9
you had to fight to have the upper hand
Em7
I had so many dreams
Cadd9
about you and me
D
happy endings, now I know
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
And it’s not theirs to speculate
Em7 D/F# Em7 D/F# Cadd9 Em7 D/F#
If it’s wrong and your hands are tough but they are where
mine belong and
Em7 D/F# Cadd9 Em7 D/F# Cadd9
I’ll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you
G Em7 Cadd9
Cause I love the gap between your teeth
G Em7 Cadd9
And I love the riddles that you speak
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos
will be ignored
D/F# Cadd9
Cause my heart is yours
G D Am C
G D
Fond gestures are exchanged
Am
And the organ starts to play a song
C
That sounds like a death march
G D
And I am hiding in the curtains
Am
It seems that I was uninvited
C
By your lovely bride-to-be
Am C
She—e floats down the aisle
G D
Like a pageant queen
Am C
But I–I kno–ow
G
You wish it was me
D -stop
You wish it was me- Don’t you?
start playing G Em7
’cause I’m not your princess, this ain’t a fairytale
Cadd9
I’m gonna find someone someday who might
D
actually treat me well
G Em7
this is a big world, that was a small town
Cadd9 D
there in my rearview mirror disappearing now
Em7 Gmaj7
and it’s too late for you
Cadd9
and your white horse,
Em7 Gmaj7 Cadd9 G
now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now
