E
When will the princess figure it out
she ain't worth saving?
Heavy the head that bears the crown
                    A             B
Of my mistaken, apathy for sympathy
            C#m            G#m     A            B
I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
                C#m               G#m
To all of your constant pressing needs
       A      B
And I never learned, so

Chorus:
C#m          E               A
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
C#m              E             A
To color in the darker side of all my
brightest hopes
F#m            B                      G#       C#m
But there's a monster standing where you should be
                   A
So I'll paint you wings
                  B
Now I'll set you free

I was a pawn in all of your plans, you kept me busy
Locked behind your chamber doors
when you felt frisky
Until you got sick of me
I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so

Chorus:
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of
all my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free

E
When will the princess figure it out
She ain't worth saving
When will the world get over all her misbehaving?
        A     B
Will we ever learn?

Chorus:
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all
my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
(She can fly away)

I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all
my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free

She can fly away
