[Intro]
C F Am F
C F Am F

[Verse 1]
C
 Say you're sorry,
     F
that face of an angel
       Am
comes out just when you
          F
need it to
C
 As I paced back and
 F
forth all this time,
          Am
'cause I honestly
             F
believed in you

[Pre-Chorus]
Am               F
Holding on, the days drag on
       G
Stupid girl, I should've
                          G
 known, I should've known

[Chorus]
                 C
That I'm not a princess,
               Am
this ain't a fairytale
            F
I'm not the one you'll
sweep off her feet,
G
lead her up the stairwell
            C
This ain't Hollywood,
            Am
this is a small town
          F
I was a dreamer before
                 G
you went and let me down
         Am
Now it's too late for
  G              F
 you and your white horse
         C
to come around
F Am F

[Verse 2]
C
 Maybe I was naive,
F
 got lost in your eyes
    Am
and never really had
         F
 a chance
(never really had a
chance)
C
 My mistake,
         F
I didn't know to
be in love
           Am
you had to fight to
                     F
 have the upper hand
(fight to have the
upper hand)

[Pre-Chorus]
      Am
I had so many dreams,
       F
about you and me
      G
Happy endings, now I know

[Chorus]
            C
I'm not a princess,
               Am
this ain't a fairytale
            F
I'm not the one you'll
 sweep off her feet,
G
lead her up the stairwell
           C
This ain't Hollywood,
           Am
this is a small town
          F
I was a dreamer before
                 G
you went and let me down
         Am           G
now it's too late for you
           F
and your white horse
         C
to come around
Am F G

[White Horse Bridge]
Am              G
 And there you are on
        F
 your knees
C               G
 Begging for forgiveness,
F
begging for me
C           G
 just like I always wanted,
 F           Bb
 but I'm so sorry
       Bb
I'm so sorry
[Coney Island Bridge]
Am
  Were you waiting at
       F
 our old spot
in the tree line,
              C
by the gold clock?
did I leave you hanging
 every single day?
Em
Were you standing in
      F
 the hallway
with a big cake,
      G
happy birthday?
did I paint your bluest
 skies the darkest grey?
      Am
A universe away
            F
And when I got into
the accident,
     C
the sight that flashed
 before me was your face
Em           F
  But when I walked up
to the podium
  G
I think that I forgot
 to say your name
[Chorus]
Am
 I'm sitting on a bench
            F
in Coney Island
wonderin' "where did
        C
 my baby go?"
The fast times, the
 bright lights,
      Em
the merry go
F
Sorry for not making
     G
 you my centerfold

[Post-Chorus]
         Am
Over and over
F
Lost again with no
surprises
C
Dissapointments, close
 your eyes
    Em
And it gets colder and
 F
colder,
               G
when the sun goes down

[Outro]
              Am      F
When the sun goes down
      C
It's too late to catch
      Em
me now
              F       G
When the sun goes down
      Am           G
It's too late for you
            F
and your white horse
      Am           G
It's too late for you
             F
 and your white horse
         C
to catch me now
