Cascada - Independence Day: chords

                    Dm                     F
Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?
           C
Love is a refugee
              A#
Ain't that absurd?
                 Dm
You know how it feels
              F            C
When sudden dreams slowly fade to grey
     A#
This is my independence day

                           Dm
She said she'd never love again
Because he broke her heart
                       F
And now she's blaming him
But he told her from the start
                         C
That what they had was special
But it ain't really love
                     A#
Although he gave her everything
She never had his heart
                         Dm
But that's all that she needs
So what's tearing her apart?
                      F
'Cause loving him is hard
But that's all she really wants
                      A#
She treats him like a king
And he treats her like a queen
                        C
But when he don't come home
He don't tell her where he's been
                 Dm
But she already knows
He got lipstick in his clothes
                          F
It's the message in his phone
And the smell of his cologne
C
But she don't say a tone or even moan
            A#
She don't stress, fight or fuss
She just keeps it to her own
          Dm
When she cries, she dries her eyes
                       F
She never lied in her life
So his lies sound like knives every night
        C
In the morning she's all right
'Cause she don't wanna fight
      A#
But tonight she'll be gone forever

Chorus:
                    Dm                    F
Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?
           C
Love is a refugee
              A#
Ain't that absurd?
             A    Dm
You know how it feels
              F            C
When sudden dreams slowly fade to grey
      A#
This is my independence day

                         Dm
He said he'd never love again
'Cause he don't want the pain
                    F
Of having someone special
Do that shit to him again
                         C
And though it ain't his fault
There ain't no-one else to blame
                     A#
For all those sunny days
When all you see is rain
                Dm
All you got are memories
But that just ain't the same
                          F
'Cause the woman that he loved
Must have simply gone away
                 C
And everyday he wakes up
Feeling like he's up in chains
                      A#
And now her sweetest touch
Is like a shot to his brains
                    Dm
And this is just a shame
'Cause she don't say a thing
                     F
Except to break his heart
Like he's in a wicked game
                          C
That he ain't trying to play
But he's stuck trying to win
                          A#
'Cause he's stuck loving someone
Who just ain't in love with him
                       Dm
But he's in love with her
And this is where it hurts
                         F
No but she don't give a damn
Or even know his worth
                          C
She treats him like he's dirt
That she can throw away
                    A#
But he ain't going away
'Cause today's gonna be the day

Chorus:
Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?
Love is a refugee
Ain't that absurd?
You know how it feels
When sudden dreams (Sudden dreams)
Slowly fade to gray
This is my independence day

A#
So forgive me but I'm gone now
C
'Cause I'm free and I'm never coming home now
Dm
I'll find hope in forever
'Cause I'm thrown now
Dm                                 C
And I'm flying and I ain't gonna go down
A#
I used to think we were magic but slow down
Gm
You didn't know what you had when you had it
A
And now you realise that it's gone like magic
And I guess you really want me back, right?
Well, forget it

Chorus:
Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?
Love is a refugee
Ain't that absurd? (Come on, come on)
You know how it feels
When sudden dreams (Sudden dreams)
Slowly fade to gray
This is my independence day, yeah, yeah
Do you know how it hurts when a fairytale burns?
Love is a refugee (It's a refugee)
Ain't that absurd?
You know how it feels
When sudden dreams (Sudden dreams)
Slowly fade to gray
This is my independence day
