[VERSE]
The boy who cried [Am]wolf [D]
He don't cry wolf any[G]more
For one day he opened [Am]up his eyes [D]
And the wolf was at the [G]door
[VERSE]
And all his faith[C]ful hound dogs [D]
Couldn't chase the wolf a[Em]way
For the boy cried 'Wo[Am]lf' one too many times [D]
And now the [Gm]real wolf came to[G]day
[CHORUS]
Sing 'La la la' [C]one more time [D]
Then the fairy tale is [G]through
Fairy tales are[Am] funny little things [D]
'Less they're [Gm]happening to [G]you
[VERSE]
The boy who cried [Am]love [D]
He don't cry love any[G]more
The wolf of love opened [Am]up his heart [D]
Left it bleeding on the [G]floor
[VERSE]
And a thousand healing [C]love songs [D]
Couldn't take the pain a[Em]way
The boy did not know [Am]true love [D]
'Til [Gm]love had gone a[G]way
[CHORUS]
Sing 'La la la' [C]one more time [D]
Then the fairy tale is [G]through
Fairy tales are[Am] funny little things [D]
'Less they're [Gm]happening to [G]you

[VERSE]
Some live in houses made of [Am]straw [D]
Some live in houses made of [G]glass
Surrounding walls of [Am]brick and stone [D]
They say, "I'm safe at home at [G]last"
[VERSE]
When the wolf comes prowling [C]late one night [D]
And he blows their safe house [Em]down
Nursery rhymes go [Am]running through their mind [D]
They lay [Gm]curled up on the [G]ground
[CHORUS]
Sing 'La la la' [C]one more time [D]
Then the fairy tale is [G]through
Fairy tales are[Am] funny little things [D]
'Less they're [Gm]happening to [G]you
