AmWhen I was just a little girl
My Cmomma used to tuck me into bed and Gshe 
reEad me a stoAmry
It always was about a Princess iCn distress
And how a guy would Gsave her and end up wEith
the gAmlory
I'd Blie in bed and think about the person thAmat I 
wanted to be
Then Bone day I realized the fAmairy tale life wasDn't 
for me
[Chorus]
I Amdon't wanna be like CinGderella
CSittin' in a dark old dusGty cellar
WaiCting for somebody, to come Eand set me free
I Amdon't wanna be like SnoGw White waiting
FoCr a handsome prince to coGme and save me
On Ca horse of white, unless we're riding sEide by side
Don't want to deFpend on no-one Eelse
I'd rather rescue myAmself
AmSomeday I'm gonna find someone who wantCs my 
soul, heart and mind
Who's Gnot afraid to sEhow that he lovAmes me
Somebody who will understand I'm haCppy just 
the waGy I am Don't need nobodEy taking care Amof 
me
I wilBl be there for him just as stronAmg as he, will be there for me
When BI give myself then it has Amgot to be, an Dequal thing
[Chorus]
I can Cslay, my own drDagon
I can Cdream, my own dreAmams
My knCight in shining Garmour is Fme
So IC'm gonna set Gme free

When I was just a little girl

C G

My momma used to tuck me into bed and she

E Am

read me a story

It always was about a Princess in distress

G E

And how a guy would save her and end up with

the glory

B Am

I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I

wanted to be

B Am D

Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't

for me

[Chorus]

Am G

I don't wanna be like Cinderella

C G

Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar

C E

Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free

Am G

I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting

C G

For a handsome prince to come and save me

C E

On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side

F E

Don't want to depend on no-one else

I'd rather rescue myself

Am C

Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my

soul, heart and mind

G E Am

Who's not afraid to show that he loves me

Somebody who will understand I'm happy just

G E Am

the way I am Don't need nobody taking care of

B Am

I will be there for him just as strong as he, will be there for me

B Am D

When I give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing

[Chorus]

C D

I can slay, my own dragon

C Am

I can dream, my own dreams

C G F

My knight in shining armour is me

C G

So I'm gonna set me free
