Capo 2 (for original key)
D G
Once upon a time and long ago
Bm
I wore a pretty dress
A D
And you put a flower in my hair
D
Said I shine like gold
G
From what you've never known
Bm
Said I am more precious
A D
Than anything you'd ever been told
D G
So here's the story, here it goes
Bm
A boy falls for a girl
A D
Yeah, that story's just the same and same old
D G
She wants to fall so in love
Bm A
But everyone around her tells her 'no'
A
But she don't care because
D G
'Cause we are one, when we're together
Bm A
'Cause we belong, forever and ever
D G
'Cause when you're here, I've never been better
Bm A
And when I'm in your arms, that's where I wanna be
D G Bm A
So there's no stopping me, oohh, oohh
D G
She has to keep her distance
Bm A
But she don't wanna listen, no
D G Bm
He tells her that patience is the key
A
But this patience is killing me
D G
So here's the story, here it goes
Bm
I will be your princess
A D
You'll never have to be alone
G
You'll be my prince charming
Bm
'Cause when I'm in your arms
A
I know I'm home
D G
'Cause we are one, when we're together
Bm A
'Cause we belong, forever and ever
D G
'Cause when you're here, I've never been better
Bm A
And when I'm in your arms, that's where I wanna be
D G Bm A
So there's no stopping me, oohh, oohh
D G
You can't stop true love
Bm A
So there's no stopping us
D G
You can't stop true love
Bm A
So there's no stopping us
D G
'Cause we are one, when we're together
Bm A
'Cause we belong, forever and ever
D G
'Cause when you're here, I've never been better
Bm A
And when I'm in your arms, that's where I wanna be
D G Bm A
So there's no stopping me, oohh, oohh
