Difficulty: Intermediate

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

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

I'd rather rescue myself.

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

      Gb
I can slay my own dragons.
Ab     Fm    Gb
 I can dream my own dreams.
Gb                    Ab       F
 My knight in shining armor is me.
   F
So I'm gonna set me free.

I don't wanna be like someone waiting

On I will survive
