[Verse 1]
Em                 Am
Lily was a little girl
D                                            Bm
Afraid of the big, wide world
Em                              Am                D
She grew up within her castle walls
Em                                            Am
Now and then she tried to run
D                                                          Bm
And then on the night with the setting sun
Em
She went in the woods away
Am                              D
So afraid, all alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                              Am
They warned her, don’t go there
D                                                          Bm
There’s creatures who are hiding in the dark
Em                                            Am
Then something came creeping
D
It told her, don’t you worry just

[Chorus]
Em                              Am
Follow everywhere I go
D                                                         Bm
Top of all the mountains or valley low
Em                                                          Am
Give you everything you’ve been dreaming of
D                              Em
Just let me in, ooh
Em                               Am                              D                              Bm
Everything you want in gold I’ll be the magic story you’ve been told
Em                                            Am
And you’ll be safe under my control
D Em Am D Bm
Just let me in, ooh
Em Am D Em
Just let me in, ooh

[Verse 2]
Em                                            Am
She knew she was hypnotized
D                              Bm
And walking on cold thin ice
Em                              Am                D
Then you broke, and she awoke again
Em                              Am
Then she ran faster than
D                                                          Bm
Start screaming, is there someone out there?
Em
Please help me
Am
Come get me
D
Behind her, she can hear it say
