Oh.
Oh.
(Am)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.”
(Am)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.
(Am)Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
(Am)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 (G6)on.
(Am)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 (G6)flame?
I (C)could ’ve been a prin cess, you’d be a king.
Could have had 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 had a cas tle, worn a ring.
But no,
you let me go.
I (F)go.
(Am)Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
