(Am7)Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
(Am7)Once up on a time some bod y ran, some (C)bod y ran a way say ing “Fast as I can,
I got to go,
I got to go.”
(Am7)Once up on a time we fell a part.
You’re (C)hold ing in your hands the two halves of my heart.
Oh.
Oh.
(Am7)Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
(Am7)Once up on a time we burned bright.
Now (C)all we ev er seem to do is fight.
On and on,
and on and on and (G)on.
(Am7)Once up on a time on the same side.
(C)Once up on a time on the same side in the same (Dm)game.
Now why’d you have to go, have to go and throw wa ter on my (G)flame?
(C)Could ’ve been a prin cess, you’d be a king.
Could have been a cas tle, worn a ring.
But no,
you let me go.
I (C)could ’ve been a prin cess you’d be a king.
Could have been a cas tle, worn a ring.
But no,
you let me go.
You stole my (Dm)star.
La la la la la la (G)la.
La la la la la la (Am)la.
La la la la (C)la.
You stole my (Dm)star.
La la la la la la (F)la.
