Verse 1:
      D      D           A         G
A dustland fairytale beginning, just another white trash county kiss.
     D        Bm        D
In 'Sixty-One, long brown hair and foolish eyes.
D                           A           G
 He looked just like you'd want him to - some kind of slick chrome American prince.
 A       Bm     Bm     (A) G     G  (G/f#)
A blue jean serenade, Moon River, what you do to me.
  E          E
But I don't believe you.


Chorus 1:
D/A             Gmaj7/B
 Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown
A/C#               D          D/F#
 I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.
G      D/F#     (Bm/Bb) Bm     A         D
 I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a palm tonight.


Verse 2:
  D         D      A       G
The change came in disguise of revelation set his soul on fire.
  A*       Gmaj7/B  G     D
She says she always knew he'd come around.
    D           D/C#  Bm         Bm
And the decades disappear like sinking ships that we persevere.
  A    G         Bm  G    D
God gives us hope, but we still fear, we don't know, the mind is poison.
Bm        Bm        G       G
 Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalised.
  E           E
The drawbridge is closing.


Chorus 2:
D/A             Gmaj7/B
 Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a nightgown
A/C#               D/A         D/F#
 I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.
G      D/F#       Bm/Bb   Bm        A/C#       D
 I saw the ending when they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away
        D/F#         A
Straight to the valley of the great divide.


Middle Eight:
A        A/E*    D          A     G
 Out where the dreams all hide, out where the wind don't blow.
G       G/f#    Bm  Bm     A    D
 Out here the good girls die,  and the sky won't snow.
D       A    G   G        A      G
 Out here the bird don't sing,  out here the field don't grow.
G       A/C#    Bm  B/D#            E    E7
 Out here the bell don't ring,  out here the bell don't ring.
G   G             D/A
    Out here the good girls die.


Outro-Chorus:
     D/A         Gmaj7/B      Gmaj7/B
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge.
A/C#                  D/A    D/F#       G
 Oh don't you know the kingdom's under siege? And everybody needs you.
        D/F#     Bm/Bb  Bm       A/C#          D
Is there still magic in the midnight sun? Or did you leave it back in 'Sixty-One?
    D/F#           G           A      D
In the cadence of a young man's eyes,  and where the dreams roll high.
