’cause Mis ter Charm ing don’t come (Ebm7)home an y more, and she for (Gb)gets why she came (Db)here.
Sleep ing Beau ty’s in a foul mood.
For shame, she says, (Gb)“None for you, dear prince; I’m (Bbm)ti red to day.
I’d rath er sleep my whole life a way than have you (Gb)keep me from dream (Db)ing.”
’Cause (Gb)I (Fsus4)don’t care (Ab)for your (Gb)fair (Fsus4)y tales.
You’re so (Gb)wor ried ’bout the (Fsus4)maid en, though you (Bbm)know she’s on ly (Ab)wait ing on the (Gb)next (Fsus4)best thing.
Next best thing.
Snow White is do ing (Ebm7)dish es a gain ’cause what (Gb)else can you do with sev en it ty bit ty men?
Sends them to bed and she (Ebm7)calls up a friend; says, “Would you (Gb)meet me at mid (Db)night?”
Oh.
The tall blonde lets out a (Ebm7)cry of de spair; says, “Would have (Gb)cut it my self if I knew men could climb hair.
I’ll have to find an oth er (Ebm7)tow er some where and keep a (Gb)way from the win (Db)dows.”
’Cause
Once up on a (Ab)time in a (Db5)far a way king dom, man made up a (Ab)sto ry, said that (Db5)I should be lieve him.
Go and tell your (Ab)white knight that he’s (Db5)hand some in (Eb)hind sight, but (Gb)I don’t want the next (Db)best (Gb)thing.
So I sing and (Bbm)hold (Ab)my (Dbsus2)head down and I break (Ab)these (Dbsus2)walls ’round me.
Can’t take (Ab)no more
of your (Gb)fair y tale (Db)love.
(Gb)I (Fsus4)don’t care (Ab)for your (Gb)fair (Fsus4)y tales.
You’re so (Gb)wor ried ’bout the (Fsus4)maid en, though you (Bbm)know she’s on ly (Ab)wait ing on the (Gb)next (Fsus4)best thing.
(Gb)I (Fsus4)don’t care.
(Gb)I (Fsus4)don’t care.
You (Gb)wor ry ’bout the (Fsus4)maid en, though you (Bbm)know she’s on (Ab)ly wait ing.
Spent her (Dbsus2)whole life be (Dbsus2)ing grad ed on the (Bbm)sanc ti ty of (Ab)pa tience and a (Dbsus2)dumb ap pre ci (Dbsus2)a tion.
But the (Bbm)sto ry needs (Ab)some mend ing and a (Dbsus2)bet ter hap py (Eb)end ing, ’cause (Gb)I don’t want the next (Db)best (Gb)thing.
No, no, I don’t want the (F5)next best (Bbm)thing.
