Long-forgotten Fairytale chords by The Magnetic Fields

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

smoking the same old cigarettes
             C
I would have laughed

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

in every life a little rain
       C
et cetera

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