Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Now once upon a time
there was a [C]little boy
who [D]loved a little girl
[G]that lived in a great big whi[D]te house
right next door.
Every [C]day from his [D]tiny bedroom win[Bm]dow
he would [E]watch her
as she'd [Am]come and go
from the nearby candy [D]store.
Don't you know that [G]not too
many years went by
Un[C]til that little [D]boy had grown
[G]to a full -grown teenage guy
[D]With spirits high
Every [C]day you know he'd [D]stand
around the halls [Bm]of school
And [E]wait for her and [Am]wink and smile
as [D]she went a -walkin' [G]by[Eb]
And now [Ab]once upon a time
that teenage guy
[Db]Had grown into[Eb] a handsome man[Ab]
with such desire to fill his [Eb]golden life

[Verse 2]
And [Db]so he gathered u[Eb]p the courage

[Verse 3]
[Cm]That he'd saved [F]throughout his days
And [Bbm]asked [Db]that pretty [Eb]girl to be his [Ab]wife

[Verse 4]
[E]Let me tell you,
and [A]then she slowly turned to me

[Verse 5]
With [D]tears in both her [E]dark brown eyes

[Verse 6]
[A]Softly said, even though I really
[E]think you're sweet

[Verse 7]
Too late [D]now, cause I [E]promised to

[Verse 8]
An[C#m]other one who needs me
Yes, [F#]I lov[Bm]e th[D]e boy who
[E]lives across the [A]street
I [Dm]said, and [Bb]then she slowly turned to me
With [Eb]tears in both her
[F]dark brown eyes
[Bb]Softly said,
you know I really [F]think you're sweet
Too late [Eb]now, cause I [F]promised to
an[Dm]other one who [G]needs me
Yes, I [Cm]love the boy who [F]lives
across the [Dm]street[G]
[Cm]Once upon a [F]time, too late to meet
[Dm]I still hear her say[G]in'
[Cm]Once upon a [F]time, too late to [Dm]meet,
oh [G]yeah, yeah
[Cm]Once upon a [F]time, too late to meet,
[Dm]I still hear her sayin'[G]
[Cm]Once upon a [F]time, too late to meet,
[Dm]oh yeah,[G] yeah
Once upon a time, too late to meet
