This is a really great song by Sara Bareilles. The other chord versions come
close, but I'm certain that this is the accurate chord progression of the song (or
much closer to it)

=======
Cinderella's on her bedroom floor She's got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood For shame she says
None for you dear prince, I'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
I don't care for your
Fair - y - tales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
/d /d
next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
*Amsus
What else could you do With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend
Says would you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
*Amsus *Amsus
Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
I don't care for your
Fair - y - tales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
/d /d
next best thing
Bridge
/d
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
/d
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
d
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing So I sing
/d
I hold my head down
/d
and I break these walls round me
/d
Can't take no more
of your fairytale love
I don't care for your
Fair - y - tales
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
Chorus
I don't care
I don't care
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting
/d
spent the whole life being graded on
/d
the sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
d
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause I don't want the next best thing
No no I don't want the next best thing
Really not that hard when you realize a lot of the suspended chord progressions
are just walking the bass note.
