(Version 2 - Tuned ½ step down)
Intro: Bm G D
Verse 1:
[D]Once upon a life[G]time
I looked in someoneâ??[Bm]s eyes
And felt the fire [G]burning in my [D]heart
For the v[A]ery first time
[D]She was scared and [G]young
And had never tasted [Bm]love
So I [D]took her by the [G]hand
And a [D]boy become a [G]man
[A]Once upon a life[D]time
Verse 2:
[D]And once upon a [G]lifetime
You hold the queen of [Bm]hearts
But if you gam[G]ble on a diamond [D]when
The dealing [A]starts
[D]You stand to lose it [G]all
As the cards begin to [Bm]fall
And [D]the lesson learned [G]is hard
Youâ??re onl[D]y dealt the queen o[G]f hearts
[A]Once upon a l[D]ifetime
Chorus:
So if [Bm]you take a chance
Just [G]know the chance you [D]take
A br[Bm]oken heartâ??s [G]a high price t[D]o pay
[Bm]Foolish ways will make [F#m]fools of the [G]wise
And the [Bm]best things seldom [G]come along [A]twice
Verse 3:
[D]And once upon a [G]lifetime
You know that youâ??ve bee[Bm]n blessed
When you hol[G]d your first born t[D]enderly
Against your [A]chest
[D]And through the innocence you [G]see
There you are the [Bm]family
And [D]you feel a special [G]bond
[D]That only comes a[G]long
[A]Once upon a [D]lifetime
Chorus:
So if [Bm]you take a chance
Just [G]know the chance you [D]take
A bro[Bm]ken heartâ??s [G]a high price t[D]o pay
[Bm]Foolish ways will make [F#m]fools of the [G]wise
And the [Bm]best things seldom [G]come along [A]twice
Verse 4:
And [G]people only [D]find
A l[G]ove like yours and [D]mine
[A]Once upon a life[D]time
