Once Upon A Lifetime Chords by Alabama

[A#m] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[F#] _ [C#] _ Once upon a [F#] lifetime, _ _ _ _ I looked in [G#] [A#m] someone's eyes
And felt [D#m] the fire burning [C#] in my heart for the very first [G#] time
_ _ [C#] She was scared [F#] and young, _ _ and had never [G#] tasted [A#m] love
So _ _ I took her by the [D#m] hand, [C#] and a boy became a [F#] man
Once upon [C#] a lifetime, _
[F#] _ [C#] _ and once upon a [F#] lifetime
You _ _ hold the [G#] queen [A#m] of hearts
But [F#] if you gamble on [C#] a diamond when [G#] the dealing starts
You _ [C#] stand to lose [F#] it all _
_ _ As the cards [G#] begin to [A#m] fall
And _ _ the lesson learned is [D#m] hard
You're [C#] only dealt the queen of [F#] hearts
[G#] Once upon [C#] a lifetime
[G#] So [A#m] if you're taking chances, [F#] know the chance you [C#] take
[G#] A [A#m] broken heart's [F#] a high price to [C#] pay
[G#] Foolish [A#m] ways will [Fm] make fools of [F#] the wise
And [D#m] the best [C#] things seldom [F#] come along [C#] twice
Once upon [F#] a lifetime
You _ _ know that [G#] you've been [A#m] _ blessed
When [D#m] you hold your [C#] firstborn tenderly [G#] against your chest
And through [C#] the innocence you [F#] see
The _ value of a [G#] [A#m] family
_ [A#m] And _ you feel a special [D#m] bond
[F#] [C#] It only comes [F#] along [C#] once [F#] upon [C#] a lifetime
_ Taking _ _
_ [A#m] chances, [F#] know the chance [C#] you take
[G#] [A#m] A broken heart's [F#] a high price [C#] to pay _
[G#] [A#m] Foolish ways [Fm] will make fools of [F#] the wise
And [D#m] the best [C#] things seldom [F#] come along [C#] twice
[G#] And _ [F#] [C#] people only find [F#] love like yours [C#] and mine
[F#] _ [C#] _ Once upon [G#] a lifetime _
[A#m] _ _ [C] _ [G#] _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
