Magnetic Fields - Long-forgotten Fairytale

verse 1
C
if someone told me you’d be here
Am
whispering these familiar things
G
talking to my little pets

smoking the same old cigarettes
C
i would have laughed

verse 2
C
i saw you last in summertime
Am
you said you hated long goodbyes
G
you said there’s nothing to explain

in every life a little rain
C
et cetera

chorus
C F C
and a long – forgotten fairytale
F C G
is in your eyes again
C F C
and i’m caught inside a dream world
F C G
where the colors are too intense
C
and nothing is making sense
F C
there’s a floating town of eiderdown
F C G
in a mist of mystery
C F C
there’s an old enchanted castle
F C G
and the princess there is me
C
decked out like a christmas tree

* * * * i think you guys can figure out the rest it’s the exact same thing . there you go . enjoy!

i guess you’ve had your little joke
but i have lost my sense of humor
my medication’s wearing off
or it’s just not strong enough
to cover this

and then you kiss me like before
and i find myself wanting more
and you tell that little lie
that kept me hypnotized :
another kiss . . .

and a long – forgotten fairytale
is in your eyes again
and i’m caught inside a dream world
where the colors are too intense
and nothing is making sense
there’s a floating town of eiderdown
in a mist of mystery

there’s an old enchanted castle
and the princess there is me
decked out like a christmas tree

if someone told me i’d succumb
if someone said i’d be so dumb
after all the sleepless nights
when i turned on all the lights
i would have hit them
but i have turned the other cheek
my voice trembles , my knees are weak
and you beat me once again
and i know what happens then :
you raise the ante . . .

and a long – forgotten fairytale
is in your eyes again
and i’m caught inside a dream world
where the colors are too intense
and nothing is making sense
