CAPO: 2nd Fret



Intro:
C  Cadd9  F  G    C  Cadd9  F  G

Verse 1:
C                 Cadd9         F         G
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
C                  Cadd9
I caught frogs and called them prince
    F             G
And made myself a queen
C                      Cadd9                   F      G
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
      C                    Cadd9
And I slept in castles and fell in love
        F               G
Because I was taught to dream

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


Chorus:
       F            C
'Cause I believe in fairy tales
    F                      C
And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails
    F            C
And I believe in Peter Pan
    F            C              G
And miracles, anything I can to get by
               C    Cadd9    F    G
And fireflies


Verse 2:
       C                Cadd9        F      G
Now, before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
            C            Cadd9
And I could bless myself in your name
    F               G
And pat you on your wings
      C                Cadd9                F     G
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
      C                Cadd9
Well, life is hard and so is love
         F                  G
Child, believe in all these things


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


Chorus:
       F            C
'Cause I believe in fairy tales
    F                      C
And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails
    F            C
And I believe in Peter Pan
    F            C              G       C   Cadd9
And miracles, anything I can to get by
         F     G
And fireflies
            C Cadd9 F G    C   Cadd9    F   G
And firefli-i-i-----i-ies
