My Once Upon A Time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C]
[Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Here you are alone, and you de[C]serve it
Your [D]friends have turned to stone
And that's on [Em]you
You had a cause to serve but did you [C]serve it?
Or did you [D]see yourself in a way
that wasn't [C]true?[D]

[Pre-chorus 1]
This is [Bb]not your father's fairyt[Dm]ale
And no, it's [Bb]not your mother's fault you f[Dm]ail
[C]So when your story comes to light
[D]Make sure the story that they write

[Chorus 1]
Goes [G]once upon a [C]time
a [G]girl tried [C]harder[D]
[G]Once upon a [Em]time she tried a[Am]gain[B]
[Em]Once upon a braver choice
She [F]took a risk, she [Em]used her [Cm]voice
And that will [G]be my [Em]once upon [Am]a time
[D]This tim[Em]e
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Why tell all those lies?
You feel un[C]worthy
Like there [D]isn't solid ground for you to [Em]stand
But a stack of lies is not a firm foun[C]dation
You cannot [D]build a castle on a mountain
made of [C]sand

[Pre-chorus 2]
This is [Bb]not your mother's dark des[Dm]ire
And no, it's [Bb]not your father's hair
[Dm]on f[Bb]ire[Am]
[C]Turns out it's you who's not awake
[D]So if there's change you wanna make
[C]Take[D]

[Chorus 2]
[G]once upon a [C]time
she [G]fought a [C]dragon[D]
[G]Once upon a [Em]time that beast [Am]was [B]me
[Em]Once upon a misspent youth
She [F]faced herself, she [Em]spoke the [Cm]truth
That's how I [G]see my [Em]once upon [Am]a time
[D]This tim[G]e

[Bridge 1]
[Bb]Life is not a storybook
but [Dm]life unfolds in chapters
[Bb]Turn the page and start to make a[Dm]mends
There's [C]no pre-written guarantee
of [Bm]"happily ever after"
[Am]Step into your [Bm]greatness
be[C]fore your story [D]ends
So when your story ends
They'll [C]say[Eb]

[Chorus 3]
[Ab]once upon a [Db]time
a [Ab]girl flew [Db]higher[Eb]
[Ab]Once upon a [Fm]time
she made [Bbm]things [C]right
[Fm]Once upon a tie that binds
She [Gb]changed her heart
To [Fm]change their [Dbm]minds
That's got to [Ab]be
my [Fm]once upon a [Bbm]time[Eb]
[Fm]This once upon a time[Dbm]
I'll finally [Ab]see
my [Fm]once upon [Bbm]a time[Eb]
[Ab]This [Db]time[Ab][Db]
[Ab][Dbm][Eb][Ab]
