Once In A While

[E]There are so many [A]things out there
[Ab]So many stones to [A]turn and stare[Am] at
[Abm]I'm sure you're [C#m]sorry, [C#]but it's not e[A]nough
To balance o[Am]ff

[E]I can recall a h[A]appy song
[Ab]But such a lot has t[A]urned out wr[Am]ong
[Abm]I'm only st[C#m]arting t[C#]o apprec[A]aite
How dark it [Am]got

Once in a w[E]hile[A]    [Am]         [E]
Once in a w[E]hile[A]    [Am]         [E]
Once in a [F#m]while every[B]thing was perfect
[D]Till you [Dm]dragged the [A]cat[Am] in
Once in a w[E]hile[A]    [Am]         [E]
Once in a w[E]hile[A]    [Am]         [E]

[B]Until you [E]ask me to
[Ab]I don't know [C#m]what I'll do
[Abm]I don't wanna drive you a[B]way
[Abm]I don't wanna beg you to [B]stay
[Abm]But I can't for[B]give you
'Till you [C#m]ask me one [D]day  [A]      [Am]           [E]

[E]I threatened I would [A]pack my bags
[Ab]How could ever [A]let that ha[Am]ppen
[Abm]I'm sure you're [C#m]sorry, [C#]but you never [A]show
Any re[Am]gret

[E]I can provide the co[A]mpliments
[Ab]To ease your mind at [A]my expens[Am]e
[Abm]I know you l[C#m]ove me, [C#]but I'd rather'[A]ve found
You cared back t[Am]hen

Once in a w[E]hile[A]    [Am]         [E]
Once in a w[E]hile[A]    [Am]         [E]
Once in a [F#m]while every[B]thing was perfect
[D]Till the [Dm]cat came cr[A]awl[Am]in'
Into your m[E]ind [A]     [Am]          [E]
And you went b[E]lind[A]    [Am]         [E]
All of the [E]time[A]    [Am]         [E]

[E]   [A]   [Am]   [E]
