It's not a Fairytale

It's not a Fairytale
Music & Lyrics by Patrik Siljestam (2009)



Picking pattern: Base note, 4, 5, 6 (sequentially)
Intro: G Bm C D

Picking pattern: Base note, 4, 5, 6 (sequentially)
G             Bm       C                                   D
It’s not a fairytale, I don’t know how to explain it
G                  Bm             C                              D
I don’t know what to say, so I keep on being silent
Picking pattern: Base note, 5, 6 (simultaneously) 
C                             D                        Bm                               C
I just know that I’m feeling this and I know that I want to be strong
C                           D                            Bm                            C
I’m trying hard to handle this cause I know that I want to belong
Picking pattern: Strumming
     G                   Bm                     C                          D
To someone, in someplace, and somehow maybe sometime
        G                     Bm                     C                          D
It will happen, I’ll be happy, but what happens if it’s not true?
Picking pattern: Base note, 5, 6 (simultaneously) 
C               D                              Bm                   C
Then I will cry some tears and I’ll try to move along
     C                            D                      Bm                            C
But I’ll still hope throughout the years although I know it’s wrong
Picking pattern: Strumming
                 G                                       D                             C                             D
Cause I’ll miss your touch and your soothing voice and I won’t know what to do
                     G                            D                                  C                   D
Cause your smiling eyes was a big surprise and they made me feel alive
Picking pattern:  Base note, then 4, 5, 6 simultaneously
  G                   Bm              C                          D
I don’t want to lose you, although it still might happen
       G                 Bm                 C                     D
So please understand me, I’m trying my very best
Picking pattern: Base note, 5, 6 (simultaneously) 
C                      D                                 Bm                        C
I really want to just believe, I’ve been looking for this so long
C                          D                                   Bm                       C
I really wish that somehow it would be enough to sing this song
Picking pattern: Strumming 
                    G                                    D                                   C                             D
To make me win your heart, to make something start, there is so much that I’m longing for
              G                                   D                                     C                                D
I want to kiss your lips, I want to hear you sing, I want to drown in your smiling eyes
Picking pattern: Base note, 4, 5, 6 (sequentially) 
G             Bm             C                            D
But still I might just fail and end up very lonely
G             Bm     C                              D               G
It’s not a fairytale, it’s a difficult and strange reality
