Only Once chords and lyrics - MARIA MCKEE

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I've [D]never been obliged to stay
in one [C]place for too [G]long
There's a [A]bad seed bred inside me
and it keeps me movin' [D]on
Have I ever been persuaded to
give it up and stay [G]home?
Was I [A]tempted by an angel? Only once,
only [D]once

[Verse 2]
Now I [D]wanna be the kind of girl
who'll [C]only make you [G]proud
But [A]the noise and fuss and wanderlust
will always drag [D]me down
And if anyone should ask me,
have I ever been in [G]love
I will [A]think of you and tell them,
"Only once"
[D]

[Verse 3]
Only [G]once did a pair of lips
on mine make me [D]cry
Only once for a pair of arms
around me would I [A]die
I will love [D]you [A]till I'm [D]saved,
I will love you from my [G]grave[D][G]
And [A]love like this can happen only once,
only once
[D]

[Verse 4]
[A]All [D]the men who try to save me weave
their [C]wicked [G]web around me
All the [A]ones I try to save,
drink their fill and leave me [D]lonely
Have I ever felt salvation wash
me cleaner than [G]a dove?
Was I [A]ever nearly happy? Only once
[D]

[Verse 5]
Only [G]once was a stupid girl
allowed to tempt her [D]fate
Only once did I think twice and
twice was [G]once [A]too late
I'm going [D]down like Jezebel and
my body aches like [G]hell
I share my [A]bed just to forget,

[Interlude 1]
I said, "No, only once"
[D][G][D]
[A]

[Verse 6]
I will love [D]you till I'm saved,
I will love you from my [G]grave
And [A]love like this can happen only once,

[Outro 1]
only once
[D][A]
