Intro

Verse

C#
   She runs to the wishing well
                         F#
   With her pocket full of dreams
   One after the other
A#m                           B
   Throws them all into the deep
   Throws them all into the deep
C#
   The fever's in her veins
                      F#
   Every moment she's awake
   Secretly she listens
A#m                        B
   Waiting for the wind to change

Pre-Chorus

C#
Desperate to break away
   D#m
To live what she believes
    A#m
But she's afraid to try
       F#
'Cause no one's ready for the girl
C#
Desperate to find a world
      D#m
Where she can hold her own
    A#m
But she's afraid to try
       B
'Cause no one's ready for the girl
C#
No one's ready for the girl

Held back by reputation
     B                         D#m C#/E# F# F#/A#
Just waiting for the time to pass
        B                  D#m
Brought down by expectation
    C#/E#     F#    F#/A#
But she's not gonna fight
       B
'Cause no one's ready for the girl

Interlude

C#

Verse

C#
   Her life's not a wonderland
                           F#
   But it's all she's ever known
   Secretly she wishes
A#m                       B
   There will be another dawn

Pre-Chorus

C#
Desperate to break away
   D#m
To live what she believes
    A#m
But she's afraid to try
       F#
'Cause no one's ready for the girl
     C#
It's hard to make a stand
D#m
Hanging from a string
    A#m
But she's afraid to try
       B
'Cause no one's ready for the girl
C#
No one's ready for the girl

B                 D#m
 She might be too much
 (No one's ready for the girl)
B              D#m
 Oh, but never enough
               B                        D#m
 No one really knows, oh, no one really knows
                      B
 She's living someone else's life
