Capo 1
When [Am]I was just a little girl
My [F]mama used to tuck me into [Dm]bed She [E7]read me a [Am]story
It [Am]always was about a princess [F]in distress
And how a guy would [Dm]save her And end [E7]up with the [Am]glory
I'd [Dm]lie in bed and think about The [Em]person that I want to be
[F]Then one day I realized [E7]Fairy tale life wasn't for me
[Am]I don't wanna be like [G]Cinderella [F]Sitting in a dark cold [Em]dusty cellar
[Dm]Waiting for somebody To [G]come and set me [E7]free
[Am]I don't wanna be like [G]Snow White waiting [F]For a handsome prince to [Em]come and save me
[Dm]On a horse of white Unless we're [G]riding side by side
Don't wanna [F]depend on no one else [E7]I'd rather rescue myself
Some[Am]day I'm gonna find someone Who [F]wants my soul, heart, and mind
Who's [Dm]not afraid to [E7]show that he [Am]loves me
Some[Am]body who will understand I'm [F]happy just the way I am
Don't [Dm]need nobody [E7]taking care [Am]of me
[Dm]I will be there for him Just as [Em]strong as he Will be there for me
[F]When I give myself then it has [E7]got to be An equal thing
[Am]I don't wanna be like [G]Cinderella [F]Sitting in a dark cold [Em]dusty cellar
[Dm]Waiting for somebody To [G]come and set me [E7]free
[Am]I don't wanna be like [G]Snow White waiting [F]For a handsome prince to [Em]come and save me
[Dm]On a horse of white Unless we're [G]riding side by side
Don't wanna [F]depend on no one else [E7]I'd rather rescue myself (Rescue myself, rescue myself)
I can [F]slay my own [G]dragons I can [C]dream my own [G]dreams (my own dreams)
My [F]knight in shining [G]armor Is [Dm]me So I'm [E7]gonna set me free
[Am]I don't wanna be like [G]Cinderella [F]Sitting in a dark cold [Em]dusty cellar
[Dm]Waiting for somebody To [G]come and set me [E7]free
[Am]I don't wanna be like [G]Snow White waiting [F]For a handsome prince to [Em]come and save me
