Alex Preston - Fairytales
CmThe kid's drum starts playing 
AbAnd it matches my beating heart
Dm7(b5)Nowhere to go no one to see
GIs it the finish line or the start?
CmAnd I look into your soft perfume
AbAnd I see only sun-lined trees
Dm7(b5)Oh, it makes me wonder
Oh, it makes me wonder
GCan you even see me? Yeah
AbSo take my hand
GAnd jump over this mess
AbThis is a fairy tale
BbAnd you're the damsel in distress
EbCross the rBbiver to the Abother side
CmI promise Abyou that it's nicer Bbhere
(EbTake your Bbhands from your Abface, don't hide
CmThere is no Abreason for your Bbfear) 2x
    Bb (hold) 
No reason for your fear
CmIt's like looking into a mirror
AbThat's so easy to explain
Dm7(b5)
When I see you I ge-ge-get a stutter
GIn every breath that I would take
CmNow love is a four letter word
AbThat takes me from here to you
Dm7(b5)The past is showing a future that's bright
GBut the present is no clue, yeah
AbSo take my hand
GAnd jump over this mess
AbThis is a fairy tale
BbAnd you're the damsel in distress
EbCross the rBbiver to the Abother side
CmI promise Abyou that it's nicer Bbhere
(EbTake your Bbhands from your Abface, don't hide
CmThere is no Abreason for your Bbfear) 2x
    Bb (hold)
No reason for your fear
So listen
AbMy mind is racing fast
BbAnd it's going speed of sound
AbI’m perplex man, I am thrown
BbMy mind is homeward bound

Dm7(b5)

Alex Preston - Fairytales

The kid's drum starts playing

And it matches my beating heart

Dm7(b5)

Nowhere to go no one to see

Is it the finish line or the start?

And I look into your soft perfume

And I see only sun-lined trees

Dm7(b5)

Oh, it makes me wonder

Can you even see me? Yeah

So take my hand

And jump over this mess

This is a fairy tale

And you're the damsel in distress

Eb Bb Ab

Cross the river to the other side

Cm Ab Bb

I promise you that it's nicer here

Eb Bb Ab

(Take your hands from your face, don't hide

Cm Ab Bb

There is no reason for your fear) 2x

Bb (hold)

No reason for your fear

It's like looking into a mirror

That's so easy to explain

Dm7(b5)

When I see you I ge-ge-get a stutter

In every breath that I would take

Now love is a four letter word

That takes me from here to you

Dm7(b5)

The past is showing a future that's bright

But the present is no clue, yeah

So take my hand

And jump over this mess

This is a fairy tale

And you're the damsel in distress

Eb Bb Ab

Cross the river to the other side

Cm Ab Bb

I promise you that it's nicer here

Eb Bb Ab

(Take your hands from your face, don't hide

Cm Ab Bb

There is no reason for your fear) 2x

Bb (hold)

No reason for your fear

So listen

My mind is racing fast

And it's going speed of sound

I’m perplex man, I am thrown

My mind is homeward bound
