                 Em      C       Am            D         |
        Watching you cut through the bind that ties.    /

     Em
        Once upon a time, a story with a happy end,
     C                 Am          C             D
        But that's all in the past, that's all around the bend,
     Em
        You can't appease me now, those stupid things you said,
     C                  Am               C                D
        And you can't please me now, and we can't start again.
                D                         C
        There's too much history, there's no clean sheets,
                D                       C
        When I get to hear his story it puts my feet to sleep;
             Am         D               D         Em
        It's automatic nothing 'bout a heart in a rage,
         C               Am                   C                  D
        Murdered by some cartoon villain who ripped out the last page.

     Em
        Happy ever after, prince apparent and his bride;
     C             Am          C           D
        All his disarming charm and her unfaithful sighs.
     Em
        He's scouting for success, and she's his girl guide.
     C              Am               C             D
        The day the die was cast, it was the day I died.
        D                               C
        Now your hits are up for grabs, now the chips are down,
            D                               C
        You could be jetting with the set instead of with that clown
            Am           D                  D               Em
        You wanted to be on a bridge; all bridges should be burned;
             C                Am                     C                 D
        Sometimes you must re-cross and that's something you've never learned.
