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