I Will Prevail

A child believes

the best in you.

And that (Dmaj7)belief

always makes the darkest (F#m)lies

(C#5)seem almost (F#5)true.

A sleight of hand,

this "almost (Dmaj7)truth," can beguile the purest (C#sus4)youth

to (F#m)Wonderland.

(F#m)Now ev'ry piece is in (D)place,

and all that's left to (A)erase before I take over all (E)the (A)power (F#m)is ev'ry trace of dear (D)Alice,

then the (A)queen.

(F#m)She's been a thorn in my (D)side and she can run but can't (A)hide.

We're fast approaching the (E)witching (A)hour,

(F#m)and settling (D)scores is my (Esus4)routine.

(G)Oh, (D)well.

(G)All's (D)well, (G)end's (D)well.

(A)(E)Farewell, (A)Alice.

(G)Too (D)late.

(G)(D)Checkmate (G)is your (C#sus4)fate.

(C#)It's over.

(F#m)I (D)come (E)alive when you're (A)afraid.

(F#m)I'll write (D)the ending of your (Esus4)tragic (E)fairy (C#)tale.

(F#m)I (D)will (E)survive and you will (A)fade,

(F#m)a (D)withered flower, small and (Esus4)tragic (E)fairy (C#)tale.

(C#sus4)frail, (C#)while I (F#m)prevail.

(Am)This time it's gonna be (F)me.

The last thing you'll ever (C)see,

an armageddon of my (G)(C)devising.

(Am)There's no way you can (F)escape from what I (C)do.

(Am)So leave your halfhearted (F)souls for me to bully and (C)rule.

The sly magician of (G)(C)compromising, (Am)to conjure all that is (F)false until it's (Esus4)true.

(Bb)Poor (F)Jack, (Bb)black (F)jack, (Bb)sad (F)sack,

(C)(G)fallen (C)hero.

(Bb)Bad (F)news, (Bb)you (F)lose.

(Bb)Light the (Esus4)fuse.

(E)It's over.

(Am)You die, (F)I thrive;

(G)and so it (C)goes.

(Am)I am the (F)ending of your (Gsus4)tragic (G)fairy (E)tale.

(Am)I will (F)survive,
