[Verse 1]
N.C. E
If someone told me you'd be here
G#m
whispering these familiar things
E F#
talking to my little pets
E F#
smoking the same old cigarettes
B
I would have laughed
[Verse 2]
N.C. E
I saw you last in summertime
G#m
You said you hated long goodbyes
E F#
You said there's nothing to explain
E F#
in every life a little rain
B
et cetera
[Chorus]
B E B
And a long-forgotten fairytale
E B F#
is in your eyes again
E B F#
and I'm caught inside a dream world
E B F#
where the colors are too intense
B
and nothing is making sense
B E B
There's a floating town of eiderdown
E B F#
in a mist of mystery
E B F#
There's an old enchanted castle
E B F#
and the princess there is me
E
decked out like a Christmas tree.
[Verse 3]
N.C. E
I guess you've had your little joke
G#m
but I have lost my sense of humor
E F#
My medication's wearing off
E F#
or it's just not strong enough
B
to cover this
N.C. E
and then you kiss me like before
G#m
and I find myself wanting more
E F#
and you tell that little lie
E F#
that kept me hypnotized:
B
another kiss
[Chorus]
B E B
And a long-forgotten fairytale
E B F#
is in your eyes again
E B F#
and I'm caught inside a dream world
E B F#
where the colors are too intense
B
and nothing is making sense
B E B
There's a floating town of eiderdown
E B F#
in a mist of mystery
E B F#
There's an old enchanted castle
E B F#
and the princess there is me
E
decked out like a Christmas tree.
[Verse 3]
N.C. E
If someone told me I'd succumb,
G#m
if someone said I'd be so dumb
E F#
after all the sleepless nights
E F#
when I turned on all the lights
B
I would have hit them
N.C. E
but I have turned the other cheek
G#m
My voice trembles, my knees are weak
E F#
and you beat me once again
E F#
and I know what happens then:
B
you raise the ante
[Chorus]
B E B
And a long-forgotten fairytale
E B F#
is in your eyes again
E B F#
and I'm caught inside a dream world
E B F#
where the colors are too intense
B
and nothing is making sense
