♫ Verse 1:
C                 Em
There was once a fairy
C              Em               C           Em              C            Em
She descended down to earth to take a dip into the largest lake in the forest
C            Em
There was a man
C                   Em                    C               Em               C                 Em
He saw the fairy's wings she placed on a rock before she stepped into the water, then he stole them

Am              G              C                F
He knew she couldn't go anywhere without her wings
Am               G              C                          F
So why would he trap her in his arms like she's just a thing

♫ Chorus:
C          Em            Am
I'm not a toy you could play with
     F              C          Em                 Am
I'm not a hand-me-down from my father for you to claim it
       F                   C            Em
Don't need you to kiss my feet or be my slave
        Am         F                    C
I just wanna feel safe even when it's late
             Em        Am
Don't wanna live in a doll's house
    F                 C     Em   Am

♫ Verse 2:
C                Em
She sits by the window
C              Em                       C                  Em                  C     Em
Looking at the stars in the night sky where she belonged hoping she could go back home

Am              G                     C                    F
She found her wings in the backyard buried behind some trees
      Am                G              C                          F
This time he couldn't trap her in his arms 'cause she's not a thing


♫ Chorus:
C          Em            Am
I'm not a toy you could play with
     F              C          Em                 Am
I'm not a hand-me-down from my father for you to claim it
       F                   C            Em
Don't need you to kiss my feet or be my slave
        Am         F                    C
I just wanna feel safe even when it's late
             Em        Am
Don't wanna live in a doll's house
