[Verse 1]
C If someone told me you'd be here Am whispering these familiar things G talking to my little pets
smoking the same old cigarettes
C
I would have laughed[Verse 2]
C I saw you last in summertime Am You said you hated long goodbyes G You said there's nothing to explain
in every life a little rain
C
et cetera[Chorus]
C F C And a long-forgotten fairytale F C G is in your eyes again C F C and I'm caught inside a dream world F C G where the colors are too intense C and nothing is making sense F C There's a floating town of eiderdown F C G in a mist of mystery C F C There's an old enchanted castle F C G and the princess there is me C decked out like a Christmas tree
[Verse 3]
C I guess you've had your little joke Am but I have lost my sense of humor G My medication's wearing off
or it's just not strong enough
C
to cover this[Verse 4]
C and then you kiss me like before Am and I find myself wanting more G and you tell that little lie
that kept me hypnotized:
C
another kiss...[Chorus]
C F C And a long-forgotten fairytale F C G is in your eyes again C F C and I'm caught inside a dream world F C G where the colors are too intense C and nothing is making sense F C There's a floating town of eiderdown F C G in a mist of mystery C F C There's an old enchanted castle F C G and the princess there is me C decked out like a Christmas tree
[Verse 5]
C If someone told me I'd succumb Am If someone said I'd be so dumb G after all the sleepless nights
when I turned on all the lights
C
I would have hit them[Verse 6]
C But I have turned the other cheek Am My voice trembles, my knees are weak G and you beat me once again
and I know what happens then:
C
you raise the ante...[Chorus]
C F C And a long-forgotten fairytale F C G is in your eyes again C F C and I'm caught inside a dream world F C G where the colors are too intense C and nothing is making sense
