[Ab] red hot sun [Eb] burns up the hill, [Fm] the winters bright, [Eb] the summers king, I [Fm] trot these [Db] acres
and I feel [Bbm] _ once upon [Eb] a time. _
[Ab] And they'd seen [Eb] that every day, [Fm] you saw a touch, [Eb] a flower through a tree, [Fm] turn the time, [Db] you turn the wheel, [Bbm] _ _ breathing [Eb] free.
Come on!
Once in a lifetime, [E] _ you live and [F] love, once in a lifetime, _ you die eating, once in a moment, _ the sun goes down, pretend [Eb] and [Bb] survive. _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Now you search the old [Eb] evening skies, [Fm] _ trace the memory [Eb] in your eyes, [Fm] the perfect heart bleed [Db] and the deluge lie [Bb] in [Bbm] tears around [Eb] your door.
[Ab] Once there were trees [Eb] and the lights appeared, [Fm] _ _ _ [Eb] now the water's clear, [Fm] you chose to [Db] turn away from [Bbm] fears, breathing _ _ [Eb] free.
Once in a [Ab] lifetime, you [Gb] live and love, once in [Db] a lifetime, you die [Eb] eating, once in a moment, _ [Gb] the sun goes [F] down, pretend _ and _ survive.

Pretend [Fm] and [Eb] survive.
_ [Ab] There's a faceless cross [Eb] on a distant hill, [Fm] a wasted pause [Eb] and a silent scream, [Fm] where the lovers all all [Db] and the dreamers dream, [Bbm] you stand and dream [Eb] alone.
You [Ab] take your sacred voice, [Eb] you sing the gospel, you [Fm] raise it to the sky, [Eb] you promise to go, [Fm] you preach your vows, you [Db] sing the good, the good songs, [Bb] _
_ _ [Eb] breathing free.
Once [Ab] in a lifetime, _ [Db] you live and love, _
[Ab] _ _ once in a lifetime, you [Eb] die eating, once in a [Ab] moment, _ [Db] the sun goes down, [Eb] pretend and [G] survive.
