Verse 1:
 A augmentedA                   E MajorE
A augmentedA prince in the summer was a drag in the spring.
B minorBm      D MajorD      E MajorE      A augmentedA
How could you know that he took off his ring?
           A augmentedA            E MajorE
And, every thing you wanted behind the castle  wall.
    B minorBm      D MajorD      E MajorE      A augmentedA
And, a hundred white horses were stuck in the stall.

    D MajorD   A augmentedA        D MajorD     A augmentedA
It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail
  D MajorD    A augmentedA      E MajorE    A augmentedA
To lead you back, that's just as well.
D MajorD    A augmentedA   E MajorE   A augmentedA
That's a better one to tell.

You tried, but, you can't bear the weight of the glitter and the glue.
    B minorBm      D MajorD      E MajorE        A augmentedA
So, you lie down and dream of the kiss that would wake you.
   A augmentedA               E MajorE
And, once upon a time can lead to a hapless ever after.
       B minorBm    D MajorD   E MajorE     A augmentedA
And, when the tears are real, so is the laughter.


Chorus:
    D MajorD   A augmentedA        D MajorD     A augmentedA
It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail

To lead you back, that's just as well.
D MajorD    A augmentedA         D MajorD     A augmentedA
You can close the book and curse the turn it took.
   D MajorD       A augmentedA    E MajorE    A augmentedA
And, tell the true story of how you fell.
D MajorD    A augmentedA   E MajorE   A augmentedA
That's a better one to tell.


Bridge:
  B minorBm                D MajorD
And,  when it's told the leaves are turning red and gold.

And, no one had to come along and cast the spell.

And you can close the book and curse the turn it took.
   D MajorD       A augmentedA    E MajorE    A augmentedA
And, tell the true story of how you fell.

That's a better one to tell.
