Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

A paper [F]crown, and a [C]heart made of g[G]lass A tattered [F]gown, and [C]her kingdom of [G]ash She walks [F]alone, can [C]never look [G]back [F]The story of a queen whose [G]castle has fallen to the sea

She’ll make it [F]out, but [C]she’s never the [G]same She’s lookin’ [F]down, at the [C] scars that [G]remain But you hold your [F]ground, though [C]your kingdoms in [G]flames Cause it’s the [F]story of a queen who’s [G]castle has fallen to the sea Knowing there’s no [F]one who will be a king [G]that will come and save his queen

When all she [F]needs, and all she [G]wants, and all she [Am]finds When all she [F]is, and ever [G]was, is [Am]compromised [Am]Cause there’s no one to love her, you [F]built your [G]walls too [Am]high And there’s no one to love you when you [F]build your [G]walls too [Am]high

She’s looking [F]out, from the [C]war that’s [G]inside She’s screaming [F]out, cause [C]no one [G]survived But when you’re all [F]alone, you [C]wait and you [G]hide Cause it’s the [F]story of a queen who’s [G]castle has fallen to the sea Knowing there’s no [F]one who will be a king [G]that will come and save his queen

When all she [F]needs, and all she [G]wants, and all she [Am]finds When all she [F]is, and ever [G]was, is [Am]compromised [Am]Cause there’s no one to love her, you [F]built your [G]walls too [Am]high And there’s no one to love you when you [F]build your [G]walls too [Am]high

[Am]There’s [G]no [F]one, who is [Am]strong [G][F]enough, to [Am]save [G]your [F]love [F]There’s no fairytale, There’s no [G]fairytale

When all she [F]needs, and all she [G]wants, and all she [Am]finds When all she [F]is, and ever [G]was, is [Am]compromised [Am]Cause there’s no one to love her, you [F]built your [G]walls too [Am]high And there’s no one to love you when you [F]trap [G]yourself [Am]inside
