  C#m
I used to be your girlfriend and
I know I did it well
Oh yes, you know it's true
You'd call me Cinderella
All you had to do was yell,
and I'd be there for you

B      F#m              C#m
Here I am, so try to forgive me
  F#m                   C#m
I don't believe in fairytales
        G#m                  C#m
Here we are with nothing but honesty
      A             G#m
I've had enough, I'm not gonna stay

Chorus:
C#m                               A
I'm sorry for running away like this
                             B       E
And I'm sorry, I've already made my wish
          A            E      C#m E
Aah, but Cinderella's got to go

From time to time,
I tried to tell just what was on my mind
You'd tell me, "Not today"
"Come back, do that"
"Where's Cinderella at?"
Was all you had to say

Here I am, so try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairytales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough, I'm not gonna stay

Chorus:
I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry, I've already made my wish
Aah, but Cinderella's got to go
I'm sorry, just trying to live my life
Don't worry, you're gonna be alright
But Cinderella's got to go


C#m
I used to say I want you
C#m
You cast me in your spell
C#m
I did everything you wanted me to
C#m
But now I shall break free from all your lies
C#m
I won't be blind, you see
C#m
My love, it can't be sacrificed
C#m
I won't return to thee

I'm so sorry, I've already made up my mind
I won't return to thee
I'm sorry to say, I'm running away now
Don't worry, you will be alright
I'm running away, I've made up my mind now
You're gonna have to let me go

Chorus:
I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry, I've already made my wish
Aah, but Cinderella's got to go
I'm sorry, just trying to live my life
Don't worry, you're gonna be alright
But Cinderella's got to go
