Cinderella

When I was just a little girl my (G)mama used to tuck me into (Em)bed and she'd (F#)read me a (Bm)story.

It always was about a princess (G)in distress and how a guy would (Em)save her and end (F#)up with the (Bm)glory.

I'd (Em)lie in bed and think about the (F#)person that I wanted to be.

And (G)then one day I realized the (F#)fairy tale life wasn't for me.

(Bm)I don't wanna be like (A6)Cinderella (G)sittin' in a dark,

cold (D)dusty cellar (Em)waitin' for somebody to (F#)come and set me free.

(Bm)I don't wanna be like (A6)someone waitin' (G)for a handsome prince to (D)come and save me.

(Em)Oh, I will survive unless (F#)somebody's on my side.

Don't wanna be (G)no, no, no one (F#)else.

I'd rather rescue myself.

(Bm)Someday I'm gonna find someone who (G)wants somebody soul,

heart and mind.

Who's (Em)not afraid to (F#)show that he loves (Bm)me.

Somebody who will understand I'm (G)happy just the way I am.

Don't (Em)need nobody (F#)takin' care of (Bm)me.

I can slay my own (Asus)dragons.

I can (F#m7)dream

my own (Gmaj7)dreams.

My (G)knight in shining (Asus)armour

is me.

So, (F#)I'm gonna set me free.

(Bm)I don't wanna be like (A6)Cinderella (G)sittin' in a dark,

cold (D)dusty cellar (Em)waitin' for somebody to (F#)come and set me free.

(Bm)I don't wanna be like (A6)someone waitin' (G)for a handsome prince to come and save me.

(Em)Oh, I will survive unless (F#)somebody's on my side.
