A blue jean serenade

 Saw Cinderella in a party dress

 But she was looking for a night gown
Ab/C                               Db
  I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
              Fm
He's getting ready for the showdown

I got my money on a pawn tonight

Verse:
Db5                              Db5/Ab           Db5/Gb
The change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire
   Db5/Ab            Db5/Bb    Db5/Gb      Db5
She said she'd always knew he'd come around

          Db5                           Bbm
And the decades disappear like sinking ships, but we persevere
              Gb                Gb/Bb     Gb        Db
God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know
     Db
The mind is poison


Pre Chorus:
Bbm                                  Gb
 Castles in the sky sit stranded vandalized
        Eb7/G
With drawbridges closing


Chorus:

 Saw Cinderella in a party dress
Gbmaj7/Bb
 But she was looking for a night gown

              Fm
He's getting ready for the showdown
Gb           Fm              F7/A      Bbm
 I saw the ending when they turned the page
            Ab/C            Db
I threw my money and I ran away
                  Fm                  Ab
Straight to the valley of the great divide


Bridge:
                        Db
Out where the dreams all hide
               Ab         Gb
Out where the wind don't blow

Out here the good girls die (die)
         Ab        Db
And the sky won't snow
              Fm         Gb
Out here the bird don't sing
              Ab         Gb
Out here the field don't grow

Out here the bell don't ring

It's such a bitter form of refuge
                                       Db
Ah don't you know the kingdom's under siege
       Fm
And everybody needs you

Gb               Fm           F7/A    Bbm
 Is there still magic in the midnight sun
            Ab/C                  Db
Or did you leave it back in sixty-one
         Fm                      Gb
In the cadence of a young man's eyes

Out where the dreams all hide
