(Intro) B  E  F#  G#m  E  E

 (Verse 1)
       G#m
 She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
       F#/B
 Without a care in the world.
           EG#m      F#
 And I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders.
      G#m
 It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
        F#/B
 She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
              E  G#m
 There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my
 F#
 dancin'"
   G#m                  F#
 "Oh please, daddy, please!"

 (Chorus 1)
     B      B/A       B/B     E
 So I will dance with Cinderella
 G#m            F#             E
 While she is here in my arms
        G#m  F#    B                E               F#    G#m  F#
 'Cause I know something the prince never knew
     B     B/A     B/B        E
 Oh I will dance with Cinderella
           G#m            F#          E
 I don't want to miss even one song
          G#m     F#          B                E
 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
       G#m    F#  E      B/B  E  E
 And she'll be gone.

 (Verse 2)
       G#m
 She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
      F#/B
 She wants to know if I approve of the dress
       E
 She says, "Dad the prom is just one week away
      G#m                         F#
 And I need to practice my dancin'
       G#m                F#
 "Oh please, daddy , please!"

 (Chorus 2)
     B      B/A       B/B     E
 So I will dance with Cinderella
 G#m            F#             E
 While she is here in my arms
        G#m  F#    B                E               F#     G#m  F#
 'Cause I know something the prince never knew. Oh
 B     B/A     B/B        E
 I will dance with Cinderella
           G#m            F#          E
 I don't want to miss even one song
          G#m     F#          B                E
 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
       G#m    F#  A     E  B  B  
 E  F#  F#  F#
 And she'll be gone.

 (Verse 3)
            G#m
 But she came home today with a ring on her hand
       F#/B
 Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
       E    G#m
 She says, "Dad the wedding's still six months away but I need to practice
      F#
 my dancin'
       G#m                F#
 "Oh please, daddy , please!"

 (Chorus 2)
     B      B/A       B/B     E
 So I will dance with Cinderella
 G#m            F#             E
 While she is here in my arms
        G#m  F#    B                E               F#     G#m  F#
 'Cause I know something the prince never knew. Oh
 B     B/A     B/B        E
 I will dance with Cinderella
           G#m            F#          E
 I don't want to miss even one song
          G#m     F#          B                E
 'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
       G#m    F#  B  E  F#  G#m  E F#  E  F#  E
 And she'll be gone.
