Once Upon A Lifetime

Intro:  Bm  -     G     -    D



D                 G

Once upon a lifetime

                                Bm

I looked in someone's eyes

                 G               D                                            

            

And felt the fire burning in my heart

           A                    

For the very first time

D                            G            

She was scared and young

                                Bm          

And had never tasted love

     D                      G            

So I took her by the hand

         D                   G         

And a boy became a man

A                 D                     

Once upon a lifetime.





D                       G               

And once upon a lifetime

                                 Bm           

You hold the queen of hearts

               G                 D              

But if you gamble on a diamond when

       A                                             

The dealing starts

D                            G        

You stand to lose it all

                                Bm   

As the cards begin to fall

        D                           G  

And the lesson learned is hard

                 D                        G 

You're only dealt the queen of hearts

A                 D                                                     

Once upon a lifetime,





Chorus:

     Bm                                     

So if you take a chance 

       G                             D

Just know the chance you take

    Bm                   G                D

A broken heart's a high price to pay

Bm                     F#m                   G

Foolish ways will make fools of the wise

             Bm                       G               A

And the best things seldom come along twice.







D                       G

And once upon a lifetime

                                       Bm

You know that you've been blessed

               G                          D 

When you hold your first born tenderly 

A

Against your chest

                        D                    G

And through the innocence you see

                          Bm

There you are the family

       D                        G

And you feel a special bond

       D                G 

That only comes along

A                 D

Once upon a lifetime.





Repeat Chorus.

      G               D                             

And people only find

      G                       D        

A love like yours and mine

A                 D

Once upon a lifetime
