G C
Once upon a lifetime
Em
I looked in someone's eyes
C G
And felt the fire burning in my heart
D
For the very first time

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

And you feel a special bond
G C
That only comes along

Once upon a lifetime.
