Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

C G

Say you’re sorry, that face of an angel

Am

Comes out just when you need it to

F

As I paced back and forth all this time

C

‘Cause I honestly believed in you

G Am

Holding on, the days drag on

F C

Stupid girl, I should have known

G Am

I should have known

Chorus

F C

I’m not a princess, this ain’t a fairy tale

G Am

I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet

F C

Lead her up the stairwell

G Am

This ain’t Hollywood, this is a small town

F C

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

G Am F

Now it’s too late for you and your white horse to come around

Verse 2

C G

Maybe I was naive, got lost in your eyes

Am

And never really had a clue

F

Honey, I rose up from the dead

C

I do it all the time

G Am

You’ve got a list of names

F C

I believe you’re saving all your roses

G Am

And I should have known

Chorus

F C

I’m not a princess, this ain’t a fairy tale

G Am

I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet

F C

Lead her up the stairwell

G Am

This ain’t Hollywood, this is a small town

F C

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

G Am F

Now it’s too late for you and your white horse to come around

Bridge

C

And there you are on your knees

G Am

Begging for forgiveness, begging for me

F C

Just like I always wanted but I’m so sorry

G

‘Cause I’m not your princess, this ain’t our fairy tale

Am F

I’m gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well

C

This is a big world, that was a small town

G

There in my rear-view mirror disappearing now

Am F

And it’s too late for you and your white horse

C G Am

Now it’s too late for you and your white horse to catch me now

Chorus

F

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

C G

Try and catch me now, oh

Am

It’s too late to catch me now

F

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

C G

Try and catch me now, oh

Am F

It’s too late to catch me now

Practice tip: Practice the F to C transition, as it’s used frequently. For an easier F, try playing just the top four strings (F/C).
