[Verse 1]
E
When we appeared they cheered and cheered
E                             G#m
From out of nowhere now we’re here
A   
We opened our eyes and
F#m           A                     E
We stared and stared and stared and stared


[Verse 2]
E
The drops exploded from the pine
E                      G#m
This magic moment only mine
A
The sun flashed in my eyes and
F#m           A                     E
I shined and shined and shined and shined


[Chorus]
         B
Life’s a curse
                 A
Nothing could be worse
                  E
A fairy tale in reverse


[Verse 3]
E
The carpet bedroom window fan
E                        G#m
You put the future in my hand
A
And when I closed my eyes
F#m    A         E
I am I am I am I am



[Chorus]
         B
Life’s a curse
                 A
Nothing could be worse
                  E
A fairy tale in reverse


[Bridge]
Eadd9 E Eadd9 E 
Falling floating
Aadd6 A Aadd6 A
Floating Spinning
Eadd9 E Eadd9 E
Spinning Tumbling
Aadd6 A Aadd6 A   E
Tumbling Falling away


[Verse 4]
E
They wonder if you knew us well
E                           G#m
Do you have stories you can tell?
A
And when we closed our eyes
F#m         A                 E
We fell and fell and fell and fell



[Chorus]
         B
Life’s a curse
                 A
Nothing could be worse
                  E
A fairy tale in reverse


[Chorus]
         B
Life’s a curse
                 A
Nothing could be worse
                  E
A fairy tale in reverse
