 The chords aren't really C F Am, but it's easier with short names.
 I think they're Fmaj7, Am7, and I'm not sure about C.
 I hear G played a few different ways, play whichever sounds good to you!
 READ THE CHORD CHARTS. THIS IS ACCURATE.
 If you rate it poorly, at least post a correction so I know why.
 Don't tell me the second verse lyrics are wrong, they're not. Buy the CD.
 x2
 Say you're sorry
  That face  of an angel
  Comes out  just when you need it to
 As I paced back and forth  all this time
  'Cause I honestly  believed in  you
  Holding  on
  The days  drag on
  Stupid girl,
  I should have known, I should have known
 That I'm not a princess,  this ain't a fairytale
 I'm not the one  you'll sweep off her feet
 Lead  her up the stairwell
 This ain't Hollywood,  this is a small  town
 I was a dreamer  before you went and let  me down
 Now it's too  late for you
 And your white  horse, to come around
 Maybe I was naive,
 Got lost in your eyes
  And never  really had a chance
 My mistake I didn't know  to be in love
  You had to fight  to have the upper hand
  I had so  many dreams
  About you  and me
  Happy endings,  now I know
 That I'm not a princess,  this ain't a fairytale
 I'm not the one  you'll sweep off her feet
 Lead  her up the stairwell
 This ain't Hollywood,  this is a small  town
 I was a dreamer  before you went and let  me down
 Now it's too  late for you
 And your white  horse, to come around
 And there you are  on your  knees
 Begging for forgiveness,  begging for me
 Just like I always  wanted  but I'm so sorry
 'Cause I'm not your princess,  this ain't a fairytale
 I'm gonna find  someone someday who might actually  treat me well
 This is a big  world, that was a small  town
 There in my rearview  mirror disappearing  now
 And it's too  late for you  and your white  horse
 Now it's too  late for you  and your white  horse, to catch me  now
 Oh, whoa,  whoa, whoa
 Try and catch me now
  Oh,  it's too late
 To catch me now
