RITA:
C/G
I was brought up in taffeta dresses
G7sus4
And taught to be pretty and precious
G5
Spending my playtimes with plastic princesses
E7/G#
Who all had bodies just utterly ludicrous
Am G#
Minuscule waists and huge boobs
Am/G Am/F# F Dm9
And it's all nipples and no pubes and no creases
D# C/E
I mean Jesus it's pretty confusing
G F
Especially at 6.
C/G
In that fairytale world all the girls end up happy ever after.
F/G
Wooing their knights in shining armour.
G
But some nights down the track
You can bet they'll be trapped
E
Spending nights 'n shining armour.
Am Am/G Am/F#
While their knights spend their nights at the bar
Am/F Am
Or at a ball with some harlot
Am/G Am/F#
I'm not bitter it's just better
F6 Am G#
That I don't fall for all that romantic bullshit
C/G D7/F#
Now that I'm older.
Dm9 C/E
Though I don't mind the thought of being tossed over a shoulder
F D7/F# G
And trotted off to a mansion by some ruggedly handsome man in a fireman helmet
E/G# Am Am/G
And have him just use me for sex.
Dm7 F/G C
As I say - it's a little complex.
C E7
One day, some day
Am
my prince may come
D7
But it doesn't seem likely
Dm7 C
But even if he came and he liked me
D7 G#5
It's likely he'd be not quite my type.
C E7
Some day, they say
Am D7
He'll come ridin' up on the back of a horse
Dm7
But of course
C
I'm allergic to horses
D7
How will I tell him
G7#5
He'll just have to sell him.
D/A
I went to school with a girl
I remember her well
G/A
She was pretty smart - and pretty as hell
A
Her folks had a farm
But she wouldn't stay of course
F#7/A#
She wanted prince charming
Bm
So she went to LA of course
F#7b9
Managed to seduce a
Famous actor or producer
Bm9
Shacked up in a house in the hills
With a cat and a juicer
F#7b9
- and a fancy car
- and a tennis court.
Bm9
But the guy wasn't quite
G#7b9
The catch she'd thought she caught.
C#m9
He treats her like trash
B
Then you know the drill
E
Takes his cat and his cash
A
And finds some younger girl
E A
So she's left with a stupid corvette
B
And an empty swimming pool
G#7/B# G#7
Which she fills with regret
C#m C#m/B A
Smart girl but kinda dumb...
F#m7
And I'd rather be lonely
F#7
Than sit on my fanny
B B7
Waiting for my prince to come-
E G#7
One day, some day
C#m
He'll come sweeping in
F#
And sweep me off my feet
F#m
And spend the next 4 decades
E
Wanting to cheat on me
F#9
Getting less handsome
B
And fighting his dragons.
Cm
He'd know what to wear
Bb
He'd have a full head of hair
Eb
And his eyes would be brown
Or blue.
Ab
Or green.
Well, I don't care.
Eb
And his body would be toned with those
Ab Bbsus4
Pecks you get at the gym
But he won't spend all of his time at the gym.
Cm
And he'll love reading books,
Bb
He'll be an excellent cook,
Eb Ab
He'll be good looking but not to aware of his looks.
Eb
He'll be tender but tough
Ab
And smart but not smug
Bb
And attentive but not fawning
And he'll smell good in the morning
Cm
And he'll dance,
Bb
-and like hiking and baking
Eb
And biking I'm not picky
Ab
I just ask that he likes me
Eb
And I like him and I'd rather be alone
Ab
If the only other option
Bb
Is to succumb and settle down
G7/B
With some condescending clown
Cm Cm9/Bb
With a great rating from some dating service
Cm6/A Abm
Some self professing Mr. Perfect
Cm Cm9/Bb
Another narcissistic legend
Cm6/A Ab6
Made a million out of hedge funds
Cm7 Cm7/Bb
Another sexually ineffectual
Cm/A Abm
Self-obsessing metrosexual
Cm7 G/B
Pseudo-intellectual
Cm/Bb Cm/A
Getting drunk and existential.
Ab Eb
Every time the Steelers lose a game
Fm7 Bb7#5 Bb7
Thanks - but perhaps another day.
Eb G
One day, some day
Cm
My prince may come
F
But I won't hold my breath
Fm
There's only divorcees
Eb
And weirdos left
F9
And weird is fine
Ab/Bb
But not all the time
Eb G
One day,some day
Cm7
My prince will come
F9
So the fairytale said
Fm Eb
30 years later it's still in my head
F7
That if I screw a frog
Ab/Bb Eb
I will wake up in a four-poster bed.
