Intro: A#m - F# - C#
C# F#
Once upon a lifetime
A#m
I looked in someone's eyes
F# C#
And felt the fire burning in my heart
G#
For the very first time
C# F#
She was scared and young
A#m
And had never tasted love
C# F#
So I took her by the hand
C# F#
And a boy became a man
G# C#
Once upon a lifetime.
C# F#
And once upon a lifetime
A#m
You hold the queen of hearts
F# C#
But if you gamble on a diamond when
G#
The dealing starts
C# F#
You stand to lose it all
A#m
As the cards begin to fall
C# F#
And the lesson learned is hard
C# F#
You're only dealt the queen of hearts
G# C#
Once upon a lifetime,
Chorus:
A#m
So if you take a chance
F# C#
Just know the chance you take
A#m F# C#
G# broken heart's a high price to pay
A#m Fm F#
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
A#m F# G#
And the best things seldom come along twice.
C# F#
And once upon a lifetime
A#m
You know that you've been blessed
F# C#
When you hold your first born tenderly
G#
Against your chest
C# F#
And through the innocence you see
A#m
There you are the family
C# F#
And you feel a special bond
C# F#
That only comes along
G# C#
Once upon a lifetime.
Repeat Chorus.

And people only find
F# C#
G# love like yours and mine
G# C#
Once upon a lifetime
