Long-forgotten Fairytale chords by The Magnetic Fields

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
If someone told me you'd be here
             A minorAm
whispering these familiar things
           G+G
talking to my little pets

smoking the same old cigarettes
       C majorC
I would have laughed

Verse 2
C majorC
I saw you last in summertime
            A minorAm
You said you hated long goodbyes
              G+G
You said there's nothing to explain

in every life a little rain
    C majorC
et cetera

Chorus
C majorC           FF C majorC
And a long-forgotten fairytale
  FF    C majorC   G+G
is in your eyes again
    C majorC        FF   C majorC
and I'm caught inside a dream world
     FF     C majorC   G+G
where the colors are too intense
           C majorC
and nothing is making sense
              FF  C majorC
There's a floating town of eiderdown
   FF    C majorC   G+G
in a mist of mystery
      C majorC       FF  C majorC
There's an old enchanted castle
    FF    C majorC    G+G
and the princess there is me
              C majorC
decked out like a Christmas tree


****I think you guys can figure out the rest it's the exact same thing. There you go. Enjoy!


I guess you've had your little joke
but I have lost my sense of humor
My medication's wearing off
or it's just not strong enough
to cover this

and then you kiss me like before
and I find myself wanting more
and you tell that little lie
that kept me hypnotized:
another kiss...

And a long-forgotten fairytale
is in your eyes again
and I'm caught inside a dream world
where the colors are too intense
and nothing is making sense
There's a floating town of eiderdown
in a mist of mystery

There's an old enchanted castle
and the princess there is me
decked out like a Christmas tree

If someone told me I'd succumb
If someone said I'd be so dumb
after all the sleepless nights
when I turned on all the lights
I would have hit them
but I have turned the other cheek
My voice trembles, my knees are weak
and you beat me once again
and I know what happens then:
you raise the ante...

And a long-forgotten fairytale
is in your eyes again
and I'm caught inside a dream world
where the colors are too intense
