Intro: Cm - G# - D#
D# G#
Once upon a lifetime
Cm
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
Cm
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
Cm
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
Cm
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:
Cm
So if you take a chance
G# D#
Just know the chance you take
Cm G# D#
A# broken heart's a high price to pay
Cm Gm G#
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
Cm G# A#
And the best things seldom come along twice.
D# G#
And once upon a lifetime
Cm
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
Cm
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
Outro- G# - D
