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

There you are the family

And you feel a special bond
A D
That only comes along
E A
Once upon a lifetime.

Once upon a lifetime
