F
My mummy says I’m a miracle,  

F
My daddy says I’m his special little guy

F                                 Eb
I am a princess and I am a prince,
N.C. Mum says I’m an angel, N.C. Mum says I’m an angel
Aaug                    Dm
And So you think you're A-ble [able]

                        Ebmaj7
To survive this mess by B-ing [being]

                                      Dm
A prince or a princess, you will soon C [see],

           Bb A              Dm        Bb A
There's no es-ca-ping tra-ge-dy [tragedy].

    Dm
And E-ven [even]

                       Ebmaj7
If you put in heaps of F-ort [effort],

                         Dm
You're just wasting ener-G [energy],

                                   A7                     Dm
'Cause your life as you know it is H-ent [ancient] history.

Gm                      Dm
I Have suffered in this J-ail [jail].

                              Edim
Have been trapped inside this K-ge [cage] for ages,

             A7
This prison cell [hell],

                      Gm
But If I Try I Can Re-mem-ber [remember],

                        Dm
Back before my life had N-ded [ended],

                          Edim
Before my happy days were O-ver [over],

                         A7                        Dm
Before I first heard the Peal-ing [pealing] of the bell...

               Bb
Like you I was Q-rious [curious],

              F
So innocent I R-sked [asked] a thousand questions,

       A7(b9)
But, unl-S [unless] you want to suffer,

                     A7
Listen up and I will T-ch [teach] you a thing or two.

Gm
U [you], listen here, my dear, you'll be punished

                               Dm
If you step out of line, so se-V-rely [severely] and if you cry

            Em7
It will be [double, you] should stay out of trouble,

                   A7(b9)
And remember to be X-tremely [extremely] careful.

Why?
Why? Why? Did you hear what We said?
A7                            Dm
Just you wait for phy-Z [phys-ZED.]!
