[Verse 1]
D#/G#                      G#m
We live to serve you, your majesty
G#m                     D#7  D#m
Comfort and coddled you fast asleep
D#/G#                 G#m
Let us surround you protectively
G#m                       D#m
Guarding your slumber for centuries

[Chorus]
G#m                         D#m
Nothing to be afraid of but talking vines
G#m                D#m
Hellbent on burying me alive
G#m                     D#m
Twisting this storybook curse of mine
D#7                        G#m      D#m
Into something I no longer recognize

[Verse 2]
D#/G#                     G#m
We tend the gardens, your majesty
G#m                            D#m
Heavy's the head tangled in my weeds
D#/G#                              G#m
You're weak, your muscles have atrophied
G#m                                      D#m
Don't lift a finger, you know where that leads

[Chorus]
G#m                         D#m
Nothing to be afraid of but love denied
G#m                             D#m
While the briars continue their regicide
G#m                        D#m
Was my true love felled by thorns and spikes
D#7                         G#m   D#m
Or waiting beyond for me to arrive

[Verse 3]
D#/G#                      G#m
Stay in your tower, your majesty
G#m                     D#m
Nothing can harm you in Reverie
D#/G#                     D#m
No suitors, intruders can breach my leaves
G#m                      D#m
We will protect you from love's disease

[Chorus]
G#m                         D#m
Nothing to be afraid of but sleep
G#m                                  D#m
Deprived of my fairytale ending that satisfies
G#m                    D#m
Am I nothing more than what's been prophesized
D#m
The brambles below
G#m
Won't soften the blow
D#7                         G#m        D#m
But a lifetime alone I will not survive

[Verse 4]
D#/G#                      G#m
We must insist now, your majesty
G#m                   D#m
We can't allow you to up and leave
D#/G#                       D#m
One prick, the spindle will heed your plea
G#m                     D#m
All will be well in the land of dreams

[Chorus]
G#m
Nothing to be afraid of
       D#m            G#m                          D#m
You're terrified that without me your nettles will calcify
G#m                    D#m
Leaving you hungry and petrified
D#m
I'll make my escape
G#m
My true love awaits
D#7                          G#m        D#m
Leaving you and my tower and fear behind
