[Intro 1]
[Em][Bsus4][F#m][A][F#m][D][F#m][D][F#m][G]
[Em][G][A][Em][A]
[D]Once I

[Verse 1]
was a man
[F#m]Stronger than the shelf
[G]Once there was a plan
But [A]one can never tell
[Em]Once a mother's gone
[A]The children raise themselves
[D]Once

[Verse 2]
I was alive
[F#m]Breathing in the [D]air[F#m]
[G]Now the more I lie
The [A]less I lose my hair
[Em]Now the road is wide
[A]Now the people stare
[Em]Waiting open eyed
For [A]once a meaning there

[Verse 3]
For [D]one can see the light
[F#m]Underneath the bed
For [Bm]months there at a time
Be[F#m]lieving every thread
[F]And months would flutter by
[Am]And fears would all have [F]fled[Am]
And [Bb]it'll all be fine
At [C]least that's what you said
Whoa
[Gm][C]

[Verse 4]
I [F]wanna buy a house
I [Am]wan na make a stand
I [Bb]wan na love a girl
I [C]wanna love a man
I [Gm]wanna kill the past
I [C]wanna stop the sand
I [Gm]wanna another chance
But [C]one is all you have

[Verse 5]
But if [F]once more I could feel
[Am]What I felt before
I'd [Dm]hold it like it's real
I'd [Am]never let it fall
I'd [Ab]blow up every bridge
I'd [Cm]build up every [Ab]wall[Cm]
[Ab]And noth[Db]ing could get in[Ab]
[Db]But noth[Eb]ing could be born

[Verse 6]
[Bbm]Whoa[Eb]
Whoa
[Bbm][Eb]

[Verse 7]
And [Ab]everything looks nice
[Cm]Nothing is unwell
But [Db]once the fruit of God
[Eb]Forever live in hell
And [Bbm]once you choose a side
There's [Eb]nothing left to win
And [Bbm]once a lover dies
[Eb]You never love again
