Verse:
         BbmBbm
When I was just a little girl,
  GbGb             EbmEbm
My momma used to tuck me into bed,
     FF      BbmBbm
And she'd read me a story.
  BbmBbm               GbGb
It always was about a princess in distress
         EbmEbm
And how a guy would save her
    FF      BbmBbm
And end up with the glory.
  EbmEbm
I'd lie in bed and think about
  FF
The person that I wanted to be,
GbGb
Then one day I realized
  FF
The fairy tale life wasn't for me.

Chorus:
 BbmBbm         AbAb
I don't wanna be like Cinderella,
GbGb           F minorFm
Sitting in a dark, cold, dusty cellar,
EbmEbm           FF
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free (Come and set me free)
BbmBbm          AbAb
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
GbGb            F minorFm
For a handsome prince to come and save me
EbmEbm
On I will survive
FF
Unless somebody's on my side
GbGb              FF
Don't wanna depend on no one else.

I'd rather rescue myself.

Verse:
  BbmBbm
Someday I'm gonna find Someone
  GbGb
Who wants my soul, heart and mind
   EbmEbm      FF      BbmBbm
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
BbmBbm              GbGb
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
EbmEbm         FF      BbmBbm
Don't need nobody taking care of me
 EbmEbm              FF
I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
GbGb               FF
When I give myself then it has got to be an equal thing

   GbGb
I can slay my own dragons.
AbAb   F minorFm  GbGb
 I can dream my own dreams.
GbGb          AbAb    FF
 My knight in shining armor is me.
  FF
So I'm gonna set me free.

Chorus:

I don't wanna be like someone waiting
GbGb            F minorFm
For a handsome prince to come and save me
EbmEbm
On I will survive
FF
Unless somebody's on my side (x2)
