D A E A D A E A [Verse 1] A E A prince in the summer was a drag in the spring. Bm D E A How could you know that he took off his ring? A E And, every thing you wanted behind the castle wall. Bm D E A And, a hundred white horses were stuck in the stall. [Chorus] D A D A It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail D A E A To lead you back, that's just as well. D A E A That's a better one to tell. [Verse 2] A E You tried, but, you can't bear the weight of the glitter and the glue. Bm D E A So, you lie down and dream of the kiss that would wake you. A E And, once upon a time can lead to a hapless ever after. Bm D E A And, when the tears are real, so is the laughter. [Chorus] D A D A It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail D A E A To lead you back, that's just as well. D A D A You can close the book and curse the turn it took. D A E A And, tell the true story of how you fell. D A E A That's a better one to tell. [Bridge] Bm D And, when it's told the leaves are turning red and gold. Bm G And, no one had to come along and cast the spell. [Chorus] D A D A It's no fairy tale, there's no breadcrumb trail D A E A To lead you back, that's just as well. D A D A And you can close the book and curse the turn it took. D A E A And, tell the true story of how you fell. D A E A That's a better one to tell. Dm A E A That's a better one to tell.
