• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
   E minorEm                 C majorC
When I was young, my father told me the story of a girl
   D MajorD                B7B7
Who spent her whole life doing what she ought
  E minorEm                  C majorC
She strained and loved and suffered and, in the end, she died
  D MajorD        G+G       B7B7
But angels gave her everything she sought

Chorus:
D MajorD
He told me
G+G              BB
Dead princesses go to heaven when they earn their crown
   E minorEm                 D MajorD
They get to choose their lovers and they lay their burdеns down
G+G                BB
Dead princesses go to hеaven to be reborn as queen
E minorEm        A augmentedA        D MajorD
If they play the perfect part in this palatial scene

Verse 2:
   E minorEm                 C majorC
When I was young, my father told me the story of a girl
   D MajorD                 B7B7
Who wanted to be something more than pretty words and pompadours
   E minorEm            C majorC
She slipped away in silence without a note or trace
    G+G                 B7B7
Though people sometimes said they saw her dancing on a distant shore

Chorus:
N.C.
He told me
G+G              B7B7
Dead princesses go to heaven if they’re brave and smart
   C majorC                 D MajorD
They cast aside their masks and lies and listen to their heart
G+G                B7B7
Dead princesses go to heaven and dance through waterfalls
     E minorEm            BB
And they never have to worry about dresses, gowns, or balls

Verse 3:
   E minorEm
I’ve thought of that, I’m not a fool
  BB
But I have a love who needs me here
G+G
Jason, too, could steal away
A7A7
We could help you disappear
E minorEm
Why should I trust you? You’re awfully nice
BB
Every courtier has his price
G+G
You said it yourself: we’re smothered in lies
A augmentedA         B7B7
Selflessness would be a surprise

E minorEm
This would further Rowan’s plans
BB
It’s not just foolish generosity
G+G        E MajorE
So if you don’t believe I’d help you
A augmentedA       B7B7
Think of it as reciprocity
E MajorE       G+G
Jason couldn’t make me stay
   B7B7
He’s not the type to claim my heart
  A augmentedA
But while my lover’s locked away
  D MajorD
I’d miss them far too much to part
 E minorEm     C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
A augmentedA brilliant mage whose dismal cage
             B7B7
Keeps them from getting free
A minorAm
You could build a life with them
    D MajorD        A minorAm
If you put your trust in me

Bridge:
E minorEm
We could stage the perfect crime
E minor 7Em7
Kill the princess, spare the lover
G+G
Rowan would help you move away
A augmentedA
And spend your lives with one another
 (spoken)
Okay

 (spoken)
Okay!

Chorus:
G+G                 B7B7
Dead princesses go to heaven where wedding bells will chime
C majorC            D MajorD
Doing double duty as a funeral half-time
G+G
Dead princesses go to heaven
B7B7
And live just as they please
D MajorD
Where every day is golden
    G+G
And the only queens are bees!
