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.
