(Verse 1)
Em
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,

Without a care in the world.

And I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders.

It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
D/B
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!

There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my

"Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms
Em D G C D Em D
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
