Lyrics

(Am)Oh. 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.
