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)

Intro
-----
Verse 1
-------
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
Chorus
-------
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
next best thing
Verse 2
-------
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
F *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
F *Amsus Am *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
Chorus
------
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
next best thing
Bridge
------
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that I should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But I don't want the next best thing So I sing
I hold my head down
and I break these walls round me
Can't take no more
of your fairytale love
Chorus
------
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
Outro Chorus
------------
I don't care
I don't care
You're so worried about the maiden though you know
She's only waiting
spent the whole life being graded on
the sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
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.
