_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] He's a very smart prince.
_ _ _ _ _ He's a prince who prepares. _ _ _ _
_ Knowing this time I'd run from him.
_ _ _ _ He spread pitch [Gm] on the stairs.
_ _ And I'm caught _ unawares.
_ Well it means that [Bb] he cares. _ _ _ _ _
This is more than just malice. _
_ _ _ Better stop and take [Gm] stock while you're [Bb] standing here stuck on the steps of the palace.
_ _ _ Alright, what do you want?
_ _ Have to make a decision.
_ _ Why not stay and be caught?
Should I give that a thought?
What [Eb] would be [Bb] his response? _
But [Gb] then what if he knew who I am?
When I know that I'm not what he [Bb] thinks that he wants?
_ _ Or then what if I am _ what a prince would envision? _ _
But then how can you know who you are till you know what you want?
Which I don't.
So then which [Gb] do you pick?
Where you're safe out of sight and yourself.
But where [Bb] everything's wrong.
_ _ [B] Or where everything's right but you know that you'll never [Bb] belong. _
_ _ And [Bm] whichever you pick do it quick.
Cause you're starting to stick to the steps of [Bb] the palace.
_ _ _ It's [Eb] my first big decision.
_ _ The choice isn't easy to make.
_ [Abm] To arrive at a ball is exciting and all.
Once you're [Bbm] there though it's scary. _
And it's fun [Ab] to deceive when you know you can leave.
[Ebm] But you have to be [Eb] wary.
_ There's a [Fm] lot that's at stake but I've [Db] stalled long enough.
Cause I'm still [F] standing stuck in the stuff [Bb] on these steps.
Better run along home _ _ and avoid the collision.
_ _ Though at home they don't care I'll be better off there.
Where there's nothing to choose or there's [B] nothing to lose.
[Bbm] _ So I'll pry up my _ _ _ shoes. _ _
_ _ Wait [Eb] though thinking it [G] through.
_ Things [Gm] don't have to hide.
I know what my decision is.
Which is not to decide.
_ I'll just leave him a clue.
_ _ For example _ _ a _ [Bb] shoe. _ _
And then see what he'll do.
_ Now it's he and not you who'll be stuck with a shoe.
In a stew.
_ In the goo.
_ _ _ And I've learned something too.
Something I never [Ab] _ knew. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] On the steps of the palace. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
