Once

[Verse 1]
F#         F#                                  D#m
  It was easier to have fun back when we had nothin'
                  A#m
Nothin' much to manage
                    G#m
Back when we were damaged
                  F#                           D#m
Sometimes the freedom we wanted feels so uncool
                 A#m
Just clean the pool 
                         G#m A#m
And send the kids to school 

[Chorus]
But oh,
B                                F#         C#
 I remember how you used to shine  back then
             B
You went down so easy like a glass of wine,
F#         C#
  my friend
             B                         F#                C#
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
                G#m A#m
But it turns out
    B                     F#
You only get to do it once

[Verse 2]
                 F#                                     D#m
I think it's true  what they say that the dream is borrowed
                      A#m
You give it back tomorrow
             G#m
Minus the sorrow
And the pain,
F#                                     D#m
  she just comes in to break up the daydream
                 A#m
And I felt his waving
                             G#m     A#m
To keep from feeling the same   thing

[Chorus]
But oh,
B                                F#         C#
 I remember how you used to shine  back then
             B
You went down so easy like a glass of wine,
F#         C#
  my friend
             B                         F#                C#
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
                G#m A#m
But it turns out
    B                     F#
You only get to do it once

[Post-Chorus]
                          D#m
You only get to do it once
                          F#
You only get to do it once
                          D#m C#
You only get to do it once

[Bridge]
| F# | D# | F# | D# |
| F# | D# | F# |

[Chorus]
D#    B
  But oh,
                                F#         C#
I remember how you used to shine  back then
             B
You went down so easy like a glass of wine,
F#         C#
  my friend
             B                         F#                C#
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
                  G#m A#m
But you were wrong
    B                 F#
You only get to do it once
