Intro: Em Em B B C C G G C C x4
Em Em B B C C
She lives in a fairy tale

The angles are all wrong now.

She's ripping wings off of butterflies.

Keep your feet on the ground
D D Em Em B B C C
When your head's in the clouds

About this song: Brick By Boring Brick

Hayley Williams explained to Kerrang! magazine that, "this song is about people who cover up their reality with frills and make out like they're living a fantasy life. It's one thing to have goals and dreams but it's another thing when you never know where you're standing in the real world. People can be hurt by that." She also added:
