CAPO: 2nd Fret


Intro:
C majorC Cadd9Cadd9 FF G+G  C majorC Cadd9Cadd9 FF G+G

Verse 1:
C majorC         Cadd9Cadd9     FF     G+G
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
C majorC         Cadd9Cadd9
I caught frogs and called them prince
  FF       G+G
And made myself a queen
C majorC           Cadd9Cadd9          FF   G+G
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
   C majorC          Cadd9Cadd9
And I slept in castles and fell in love
    FF        G+G
Because I was taught to dream

Pre-Chorus:
    FF              C majorC
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
  FF       C majorC
To capture Tinker Bell
  FF                C majorC
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
  FF       G+G
But I could always tell


Chorus:
    FF      C majorC
'Cause I believe in fairy tales
  FF           C majorC
And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails
  FF      C majorC
And I believe in Peter Pan
  FF      C majorC       G+G
And miracles, anything I can to get by
        C majorC  Cadd9Cadd9  FF  G+G
And fireflies


Verse 2:
    C majorC        Cadd9Cadd9    FF   G+G
Now, before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
      C majorC      Cadd9Cadd9
And I could bless myself in your name
  FF        G+G
And pat you on your wings
   C majorC        Cadd9Cadd9        FF   G+G
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
   C majorC        Cadd9Cadd9
Well, life is hard and so is love
     FF         G+G
Child, believe in all these things

Pre-Chorus:
    FF              C majorC
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
  FF       C majorC
To capture Tinker Bell
  FF                C majorC
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
  FF       G+G
But I could always tell


Chorus:
    FF      C majorC
'Cause I believe in fairy tales
  FF           C majorC
And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails
  FF      C majorC
And I believe in Peter Pan
  FF      C majorC       G+G    C majorC  Cadd9Cadd9
And miracles, anything I can to get by
     FF   G+G
And fireflies
      C majorC Cadd9Cadd9 FF G+G  C majorC  Cadd9Cadd9  FF  G+G
And firefli-i-i-----i-ies
