 She's thinking about the Prince and Cinderella

G
      The outlaws, the hustlers and the heroes, they never seem to fall

G
 It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what the outcome of the story is.

G                   C                  D
Because in real life I try to tell her it's not like that at all...

Em                  D                  Em                 D

          poetic, Babe.     But out on the streets out there the true verse

G                                      G                  C
 is written.               You know it's really a shame when u've got to let

G                                      G                  C
go of all the things you love.    Like a fighter really bleeds when he must

D                                      Em                 D
hang up his gloves.                 No I am not a rock, & I can feel it now,

Em                  D                  C                  C
 but for a moment I'd like to forget    that my heart is        sinking like

G                                 G    G    G2       G    C
