[Am]And there you [G]are on your [F]knees [C]Begging for for[G]giveness, [F]begging for me [C]Just like I [G]always wanted [F]but I’m so [A#]sorry

‘Cause I’m not your [C]princess, this ain’t a [Am]fairytale I’m gonna [F]find someone someday who might [G]actually treat me well This is a [C]big world, that was a [Am]small town There in my [F]rearview mirror disap[G]pearing now.
