[Intro] C Cadd9 F G C Cadd9 F G [Verse 1]
C                 Cadd9         F         G
Before you met me I was a fairy princess

C                  Cadd9 
I caught frogs and called them prince

    F             G
And made myself a queen

C                      Cadd9                   F      G
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world

      C                    Cadd9 
And I slept in castles and fell in love

        F               G
Because I was taught to dream
[Pre-Chorus]
        F                            C
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

   F              C
To capture Tinker Bell

    F                               C
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye

    F              G
But I could always tell
[Chorus]
       F            C
'Cause I believe in fairy tales

    F                      C
And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails 

    F            C
And I believe in Peter Pan

    F            C              G
And miracles, anything I can to get by

               C    Cadd9    F    G
And fireflies
[Verse 2]
       C                Cadd9        F      G
Now, before I grew up I saw you on a cloud

            C            Cadd9 
And I could bless myself in your name

    F               G
And pat you on your wings

      C                Cadd9                F     G
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud

      C                Cadd9 
Well, life is hard and so is love

         F                  G
Child, believe in all these things
[Pre-Chorus]
        F                            C
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

   F              C
To capture Tinker Bell

    F                               C
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye

    F              G
But I could always tell
[Chorus]
       F            C
'Cause I believe in fairy tales

    F                      C
And dreamer's dreams, like bed-sheet sails 

    F            C
And I believe in Peter Pan

    F            C              G       C   Cadd9    
And miracles, anything I can to get by

         F     G
And fireflies 

            C Cadd9 F G    C   Cadd9    F   G
And firefli-i-i-----i-ies
