What else could you do With seven itty-bitty men?
G                         Dm7
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend
               F            C/E   F
Says would you meet me at midnight?
G                          Dm7

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Am            G/B             C5           C5/D
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Am               E7/B                   C5           D7
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
    F                     C/E     F
But I don't want the next best thing So I sing
   Am   G/B   Csus2   Csus2/D
I hold   my   head    down
      Am     G/B   Csus2  Csus2/D
and I break these walls   round  me
Am         G/B    Csus2  Csus2/D
Can't take no more
         F        C/E  F
of your fairytale love
[Chorus]
F  Esus4 Am   G/B
I don't  care for your
F     Esus4   Am
Fair - y   -  tales
G/B       F                 Esus4             Am
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
           G/B            F    Esus4 Am     G/B
She's only waiting on the next best  thing
[Outro Chorus]
F  Esus4   Am    G/B
I  don't   care
F  Esus4   Am    G/B
I  don't   care
          F                 Esus4             Am
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
      G/B
She's only waiting
  Csus2      Csus2/D
spent the whole life being   graded on
    Am       G/B               Csus2  Csus2/D
the sanctity of patience and a dumb  appreciation
        Am          G/B                Csus2         D
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
      F                     C/E  F
Cause I don't want the next best thing
       F                E       Am
No no I don't want the next best thing
