True names, stopped clocks, wildest dreams

Time's up, darling; let it be

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

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


Chorus:
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!
F                G               C
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.


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                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!
