Once Upon A Lifetime

[Bm]        [G]          [D]

[D]Once upon a lifeti[G]me
I looked in someone's eyes      [Bm]
                 [G]               [D]

And felt the fire burning in my heart
For the ver[A]y first time
[D]She was scared and young     [G]
And had never tasted love       [Bm]
So I [D]took her by the hand   [G]
And a boy[D] became a man       [G]
[A]Once upon a lifeti[D]me.

[D]And once upon a lifetime[G]
You hold the queen of hearts     [Bm]
But if you gamb[G]le on a diamond wh[D]en
The dea[A]ling starts
[D]You stand to lose it all     [G]
As the cards begin to fall      [Bm]
And the [D]lesson learned is hard      [G]
You're only dealt[D] the queen of hearts     [G]
[A]Once upon a lifeti[D]me,

So if[Bm] you take a chance
Just kn[G]ow the chance you take        [D]
A br[Bm]oken heart's a high p[G]rice to pay      [D]
[Bm]Foolish ways will make [F#m]fools of the wise     [G]
And the best [Bm]things seldom come along [G]twice.          [A]

[D]And once upon a lifetime[G]
You know that you've been blessed      [Bm]
When you hold y[G]our first born tenderly    [D]
[A]Against your chest
And through the innocenc[D]e you see            [G]
There you are the family  [Bm]
And you[D] feel a special bond     [G]
That on[D]ly comes along   [G]
[A]Once upon a lifeti[D]me.

Repeat Chorus.
And pe[G]ople only find  [D]
A love[G] like yours and mine    [D]
[A]Once upon a lifeti[D]me

[G]         [D]
