Verse:
Em        D          C
Who's the wicked queen and who's the princess here?
Em          D         C
The truth is far from plain, or how you think it should appear
F          C        Em        D
I tell you there's a spindle that is sure to prick my hand
    Em       D       C
Who is good and who is wicked all depends on where you stand

Em D C

Em       D        C
You may call my truest name and fling it to the floor
  Em          D          C
But ticks and tocks from broken clocks can't hurt me anymore
F         C       Em          D
Let's be done with fairytales and how they're meant to end
  Em       D        C
The truth is that I lost my way and found it here again


Pre-Chorus:
 F      C       Em       D
Mustn't try to hide behind a clock no longer chiming
F       C        Em       D
Fairyland will have its due, regardless of the timing

F        G        C
But I am not the villain in this tale!
F      G        Am
I am not the villain in this tale!


Verse:
Em        D         C
Call me what you like. I've been as kind as I can be
Em      D         C
Set off the alarms and bring the sky down upon me
F            C     Em        D
You'd think this was the ending; we both have come so far
Em        D       C
It'll break your heart how very much alike we are


Pre-Chorus:
 F       C       Em       D
I never meant to hide behind a clock no longer chiming
F       C        Em       D
Fairyland will have its due, regardless of the timing


Chorus:
F        G        C
But I am not the villain in this tale!
F      G        Am
I am not the villain in this tale!

Oh, I am not the villain in this tale!
F      G        Am
I am not the villain in this tale!

Bridge:
F         G
If you'd want the very truth
Am
I'll lay it down before you:
F      G   Am
Everybody's got a story
F        G
If you want the very truth
Am
It's here before your eyes:
   C          G
Every witch was someone's princess
    F   G      Em        D        C
In some other once upon a time (True names, stopped clocks, wildest dreams)
Em     D    C
Time's up, darling; let it be
Em     D        C
True names, stopped clocks, wildest dreams
Em     D    C
Time's up, darling; let it be.

F       C       Em       D
Mustn't try to hide behind a clock no longer chiming
F       C       Em        D
Fairyland will have its due, regardless of the timing
F        C        Em       D
I fed you all my sweetness but it wasn't to your taste
F          C       Em      D
I may have lost this battle, but I will not be erased!


Chorus:
  F      G        C
No, I am not the villain in this tale!
F      G        Am
I am not the villain in this tale!
F      G        C
I am not the villain in this tale!
F      G        Am
I am not the villain in this tale!
