Intro: C, Em, C, Em, D, C, Em,  D(3X)
 CThis story's Emmissing a Cwishing well
No Emmirror to Dshow and tell
No Ckiss that can Embreak the spell
I'm Dfalling Casleep
Every Emprince is a Cfantasy
The Emwitch is inDside of me
Her Cpoison will Emwash away the mDemory
  AmWe Ckill the ligGhts and Dput on a show
  AmIt's Call a lGie but yDou'd never know
  AmThe sCtar will sGhine and Dthen it will fall
  AmAnd Cyou will forGget it allD  
 CAnd after mEmidnight we're Call the same
No Emglass shoe to bDring us fame
NobCody to tEmake the blame
We're fDalling aCpart
Every Emstory's a waCiting game
A flEmower for eDvery name
Their coClors are paEmling in the Dfalling 
rain
  AmWe Ckill the ligGhts and Dput on a show
  AmIt's Call a lGie but yDou'd never know

There's something wDaiting for you Fhere
Every Cletter that you wrGote
Has found its Dway to me, my Fdear
You can Cmake believe that Gwhat you say

GBeautiful deDlusional carCeer
EmFaking every tCear
EmLooking like a cDompromise Csuicide
EmKeeping all my Ddreams alive
