Cinderella's on her bedroom floor 
Dm7 
She's got a 
F                       Am 
Crush on the guy at the liquor store 
G                             Dm7 
Cause Mr Charming don't come home anymore 
F                       C    F 
And she forgets why she came here 
G                      Dm7 
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood 
Dm7 
For shame she says 
F                         Am 
None for you dear prince I'm tired today 
G                   Dm7             F             C            F 
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

Am G    F    C        Am G  F 
I don't care for your fairytales 
G                                         C 
You're so worried about the maiden though you know 
Dm7                        Am  G    F 
She's only waiting on the next best thing 
F

G 
Snow White is doing dishes again cause 
Dm7 
What else could you do 
     F                Am 
With seven itty-bitty men 
G                         Dm7 
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend 
F                        C   F 
Says will you meet me at midnight 
G                          Dm7 
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says 
F                                  Am 
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair 
G                         Dm7                 F                  C  F 
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows 

Chorus 

G                             Dm7 
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom 
F                                Am 
Man made up a story said that I should believe him 
G                                       Dm7 
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight 
F                    C         F 
But I don't want the next best thing 
F 
So I sing 
   G            Dm7        F           Am 
I hold my head down and I break these walls round me 
F                          Dm7 
Can't take no more of your fairytale love 


Am G     F 
I don't care 
C        Am G  F 
For your fairytales 
G                                 C 
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know 
Dm7                 
She's only waiting 
Am 
spent the whole life being 
G             F           Am             G 
graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb 
        F 
Appreciation 
        Am               G             F            Am 
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending 
        G              F         Am 
Cause I don't want the next best thing 
        G              F         Am 
No no I don't want the next best thing
