INTRO:
C

VERSE:
 C                         F
What if Romeo didn't call Juliet
                             C
Left her stuck on a balcony waiting
 C
Didn't plan on second dating
                C
What if Prince Charlie
             F
was way too guarded
         Am                   C
Hot and cold when it came to love
C                        G
So he stood the princess up
     Dm                Em
As a kid you think of love the
          C    F
way it's written
            Dm
But growing up it's all
       Em             G
played out how you envision

CHORUS:
C
I wished the end of this story
     C
Was you and I are meant to be
 Am
Fireworks, champagne pouring
     F                         G
And some kind of magic in the breeze
     C
But this ain't happy ever after
    F
It turns out reality is
           Am
That I'm alone here in this
              G
stupid restaurant again, our best
    F
No knight in shining armor
       F                           C
And tonight just a damsel in this dress

VERSE:
 C                          F
Hate that I spent, half my paycheck
         C
On this strapless, little red number
  C
'Cause I know you love this color
         Am                 G
And it's too bright but it won't stay
             C
If you were here to see me in it
       G
Maybe then it all be different

CHORUS:
C
I wished the end of this story
     C
Was you and I are meant to be
 Am
Fireworks, champagne pouring

And some kind of magic in the breeze

But this ain't happy ever after

It turns out reality is
           Am
That I'm alone here in this stupid
       G
restaurant again, our best
    F
No knight in shining armor
     F                             Am
And tonight just a damsel in this dress

Fireworks, champagne pouring
