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