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