Charming

[Intro ]
    C 
You know they named me, Charming 
    F            F/D           C 
Not Charles, not Clifford, not Kent 
     Gm9               C 
Just Charming, no last name 
     Fm    Fm/D    G7 
Like I'm a Perfume Scent 

      Db 
"Just find a girl!" My father said 
    Gb      Gb/Eb   Db 
And then produce an heir 
       A7 
Well I have the girl.... well, had 
          Absus/Eb          Ab7 
Where did charming get me? 
         Db7 
Nowhere 



[Verso 1]
 
  Gb        Gbmaj7      Gb6         Gbmaj7 
I enter a ball, and the whispers begin! 
      Gb          Bbm7      Am7       Abm7              Db7 
"He's dashing, so handsome! Would you look at his grin?" 
    Abm              Abmmaj7/Eb Abm7            Db7 
I'm just supposed to smile, and give the girl a twirl! 
   Absus            Ab7          Dbsus               Db7              Abm7 Db7 
Forget my plans for a democracy, girls just see keys to the monarchy 
 


[Verso 2]
 
     Gb        Gbmaj7  Gb6              Gbmaj7 
Does anyone ask what I think of the war?    Nope! 
   Gb          Bbm7    Am7       Abm7        Db7 
Or taxes, or roads, or literally anything more? 
     Abm               Abmmaj7/Eb 
They want the handsome trophy man 
    Abm7           Db7 
And not the 5-year plan! 
  Absus              Ab7 
I tried to lead with good diplomacy 
Db               Dbm7     Gb7 
All they want is pomp and pageantry 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
B              Bm      Gb                Eb9 
  Then, there's her. The girl who lost her shoe 
    Absus           Ab7             Abm7         Db7 
And disappears like every plot hole I see through 
 


[Refrão]
 
                   Gb      Gbmaj7 
I'm more than just   charming 
                Abm7    Db7 
I'm more than a smile 
                  Abm7              Db7 
I'm more than the arm piece, that a princess needs 
   Gb                   Dbm7  Gb7 
To walk her down the aisle 
  B            Bm        Gb 
I balanced our economy and opened trade last year 
  Dbsus 
I cut the tariffs 
Db7                 Bbm7                  Eb9 Eb(b9) 
But that's not what they all want to hear 
    B6             Ebdim/C 
I'm just the guy to search the land 
     Gb/Db            Eb7 
With fragile footwear in his hand 
                     Abm7     Db7          Gb     Gbm/A Abm7 Db7 
I'm more than just a charming prince for a girl! 
 


[Verso 3]
 
  Gb          Gbmaj7       Gb6             Gbmaj7 
A boy meets a girl but, he finds out she's dead! 
   Gb        Bbm7      Am7    Abm7           Db7 
My job is to save her, so the plot moves ahead 
    Abm               Abmmaj7/Eb 
I'm just a prince, a noun, no name! 
  Abm7              Db7 
Exist, but don't complain 
Absus           Ab7 
Find a princess that you love but then 
Db                   Dbsus Db7 
You find out there's seven other men 
Db7 
    "Wait what?" 
 


[Verso 4]
 
  Gb          Gbmaj7             Gb6     Gbmaj7 
A princess is cursed, that's the setup I guess 
  Gb               Bbm7 
A girl, a witch, a prince 
  Am7          Abm7            Db7 
I mean, that's it more or less 
     Abm                   Abmmaj7/Eb 
Just save the girl, that's great 
             Abm7               Db7 
No plans for healthcare, war or state! 
        Absus            Ab7 
No, you let the princess do the feeling 
Db                  Dbm7   Gb7 
Your job is just to do the kneeling 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
    B                          Bm 
And by the way, we picked you a bride 
     Gb            Eb7 
Your future's pre-agreed! 
Abm     Bbm     Bdim    Ab7/C 
But now I'm starting to wonder 
Abm7(b5)/D              Db7 
Is this what I really need? 
 


[Refrão]
 
                   Gb       Gbmaj7 
I'm more than just handsome 
                Abm7    Db7 
I'm more than a prop 
                  Abm7             Db7 
I'm more than the guy in tights on horseback 
          Gb               Dbm7  Gb7 
And whose name they all forgot! 
     B               Bm        Gb 
I've smiled through hypocrisy to last me 10 careers 
        Abm7/Db             Db7 
And for God's sake, no more royal balls 
         Bbm7            Eb9   Eb(b9) 
They're  traps with chandeliers 
  B6             Ebdim/C 
A kiss without consent is gross 
     Gb/Db                  Eb7      Eb7 
So I guess she'll lay there comatose 
                     Abm7     Db7          Gb    Gbm/A Abm7 Db7 B 
I'm more than just a charming prince for a girl! 
 


[Ponte]
 
Bbm         Bbmmaj7/F    Bbm7          Eb7 
We act the role,     and we wear the crown 
Abm            Abmmaj7/Eb Abm7         Db7 
We lift them up,      but they hold us down 
        Cm7                      F7 
I could stop global warming, but no one would care 
     F7 
In a princess's story 
                   F7     F#7 
Is the prince even there? 
 


[Refrão]
 
I'm more than just charming 
           C#m7 
Do I get a plot? Probably not 
           C#m7 
I'm just a face they frame 
      C#m7 
Wait, what's his name? 
            C#m7      B/D# 
I'm the hero they forgot! 
   E             Em         B/D#           G#7 
So if you want a fairytale, go and buy the book 
    C#m7 
But news for you 
    C#m7             D#m7         G#9  G#(b9) 
The Prince inside it only has one look! 
      E6 
Stand tall and smile 
Bdim/F 
Don't offend 
       B/F#            G#7 
That's where the royal training ends 
G#7 
    I'm more than just a 
C#m7               G#m/D#             E 
Handsome, gallant, mindless, charming prince 
F#sus F#7      B7/A   E   C#m  B/F#    
For   a   girl!
