One Day chords

[C/G]I was brought up in tafetta dresses
And [G7sus4]taught to be pretty and precious
Spending my [G5]playtimes with plastic princesses
Who all had [E7/G#]bodies just utterly ludicrous
Miniscual [Am]waists and huge [G#]boobs
And it's [Am/G]all nippl[Am/F#]ess and no [F]pubes and no [Dm9]creases
I mean [D#]Jesus it's pretty con[C/E]fusing
Es[G]pecially at [F]6.

In that fairytale [C/G]world all the girls end up happy ever after.
[F/G]Wooing their knights in shining armour.
But some [G]nights down the track
You can bet they'll be trapped
[E]Spending nights 'n shining armour.

While their [Am]knights spend their [Am/G]nights at the bar[Am/F#]
Or at a [Am/F]ball with some [Am]harlot
I'm not [Am/G]bitter it's just [Am/F#]better
That I don't [F6]fall for all that [Am]romantic [G#]bullshit
[C/G]Now that I'm [D7/F#]older.
Though I [Dm9]don't mind the thought of being tossed [C/E]over a shoulder
And trotted [F]off to a mansion by some [D7/F#]ruggedly handsome [G]man in a fireman helmet
And [E/G#]have him just use me for [Am]sex. [Am/G]
As I [Dm7]say - it's a [F/G]little com[C]plex.

[C]One day, [E7]some day
my [Am]prince may come
But it d[D7]oesn't seem likely
But [Dm7]even if he came and he [C]liked me
It's [D7]likely he'd be [G#5]not quite my type.

[C]Some day, [E7]they say
He'll come [Am]ridin' up on the [D7]back of a horse
[Dm7]But of course
I'm a[C]llergic to horses
[D7]How will I tell him
He'll [G7#5]just have to sell him.

I went to [D/A]school with a girl
I remember her well
She was [G/A]pretty smart - and pretty as hell
Her folks had a [A]farm
But she wouldn't stay of course
She wanted prince [F#7/A#]charming
So she went to L[Bm]A of course
Managed to se[F#7b9]duce a
Famous actor or producer
Shacked up in a [Bm9]house in the hills
With a cat and a juicer
- and a [F#7b9]fancy car
- and a tennis court.
But the guy[Bm9] wasn't quite
The catch she'd [G#7b9]thought she caught.
He [C#m9]treats her like trash
Then [B]you know the drill
Takes his [E]cat and his cash
And finds [A]some younger girl
So she's [E]left with a stupid cor[A]vette
And an [B]empty swimming pool
Which she [G#7/B#]fills with regret[G#7]
[C#m]Smart girl [C#m/B]but kinda [A]dumb...

And I'd [F#m7]rather be lonely
Than [F#7]sit on my fanny
[B]Waiting for my prince to [B7]come-

[E]One day, [G#7]some day
He'll come [C#m]sweeping in
And [F#]sweep me off my feet
And [F#m]spend the next 4 decades
[E]Wanting to cheat on me
[F#9]Getting less handsom
And [B]fighting his dragons.

He'd [Cm]know what to wear
He'd have a [Bb]full head of hair
And his [Eb]eyes would be brown
Or blue.
[Ab]Or green.
Well, I dont care.
And his [Eb]body would be toned with those
[Ab]Pecks you get at the [Bbsus4]gym
But he won't spend all of his time at the gym.
And he'll [Cm]love reading books,
He'll be an [Bb]excellent cook,
He'll be good [Eb]looking but not to awa[Ab]re of his looks.
He'll be [Eb]tender but tough
And [Ab]smart but not smug
And a[Bb]ttentive but not fawning
And he'll smell good in the morning
And he'll d[Cm]ance,
-and like hiking and [Bb]baking
And biking I'm not [Eb]picky
I just ask that he [Ab]likes me
And I like him and I'd [Eb]rather be alone
If the [Ab]only other option
Is to [Bb]succumb and settly down
With some [G7/B]condescending clown
With a great [Cm]rating from some [Cm9/Bb]dating service
Some [Cm6/A]self professing [Abm]Mr. Perfect
Another [Cm]narcissistic [Cm9/Bb]legend
Made a [Cm6/A]million out of [Ab6]hedge funds
Another [Cm7]sexually [Cm7/Bb]ineffectual
[Cm/A]Self-obsessing [Abm]metrosexual
[Cm7]Pseudo-intel[G/B]lectual
Getting [Cm/Bb]drunk and exi[Cm/A]stential.
[Ab]Every time the steelers lose a [Eb]game
[Fm7] Bb7#5 [Bb7]
Thanks - but perhaps another day.

[Eb]One day, [G]some day
My [Cm]prince may come
But I [F]won't hold my breath
There's [Fm]only divorcees
And [Eb]wierdos left
And [F9]weird is fine
But [Ab/Bb]not all the time

[Eb]One day,[G]some day
My [Cm7]prince will come
So the [F9]fairytale said
[Fm]30 years later it's [Eb]still in my head
That if [F7]I screw a frog
I will [Ab/Bb]wake up in a four poster bed.[Eb]
