Sad Cinderella

G  F  C

C                     G           F             C
when the bandits have stolen your jewellery and gone
         F                                       C
and your crippled young gypsy has grown tall and strong
         F          G              F          C
and your dead misconceptions have proven you wrong
           C                   F                G
well then, Princess, where you planning to turn to?

          C         G         F        C
when your magazine memory has spun you around
         F                                    C
and you realise your lovers were just painted clowns
    F            G          F             C
and outside your window you start hearing sounds
      C                  F                 G
where they're building a cross for to burn you
     F               G             C         F
when all your bright scarlet turns slowly to blue
         G                         F      C
will you stop and decide that it's over?

          C             G        F         C
when your tear drops go sour and no longer fall
   F                                           C
to splash cross the virgin that lives down the hall
    F              G              F           C
and spends all her nights with an ear to your wall
     C                   F            G
well then, what will you have you can offer?

C                     G          F         C
when the fire dancers finish and leave you alone
     F                                    C
with nothing but embers and sacks full of stone
     F                G            F              C
that hang 'round your neck slicing through to the bone
     C          F              G
will there be a place for your laughter?
     F               G             C         F
when all your bright scarlet turns slowly to blue
         G                         F      C
will you stop and decide that it's over?

C                    G               F        C
when your shattered illusions come a-tumbling home
    F                                          C
and all of your butchers you've nourished have grown
    F                G       F         C
and they're suddenly able to leave you alone
         C        F                   G
and they run like slaves that are set free

C                        G                F           C
when your questions are answered and your pleading is done
         F                                          C
and your mind starts a-screaming that you ain't the one
     F                   G             F              C
that once dwelled within you, will you turn? will you run?
     C                       F            G
But, Princess, will you come home and get me?
     F               G             C         F
when all your bright scarlet turns slowly to blue
         G                         F      C
will you stop and decide that it's over?
