Chords for Sara Bareilles - Once Upon Another Time (Live at the El Rey - 5/14/2013)

[A] I wrote these lyrics on an [D#] airplane, [D] [N] crying, making people uncomfortable.
_ But I don't care.
_ [F#] _
And [Gm] I basically was reflecting on [F#m] becoming a young [F#] adult for the first time.
I was actually [A#] thinking about my freshman year in college [E] and [F#] feeling that [B] euphoria of feeling [D#m] independent for the first time.
And [A#] then that idea [N] that everything is possible.
You're looking at your life and you're like, I could literally do a E.
And then as we get older, that light starts to fade into an ash, a pile of wilted anger and regret. _
_ So before we get to the place, it's nice to just kind of choose the dream state for a little while. _
At least that's what I was thinking when I was on the plane.
_ No, but I actually am of the school of thought that [A#m] that dream state is pretty available to [D#] us at any time.
And I'd [A] like to be a little bit of a dreamer.
[F#] But it does, you have to work harder to stay there.
[A] It does get [D] harder as you get older.
And I'm like 22 [G] now.
_ [B] I [A#] mean, [F] I know a [C#] lot of things are going to get easier.
[C] _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[B] _ [G] _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ [G] _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm going to be on another [Am] time.
[N] _ _ _ See bodies _ _ hands who felt like mine. _
_ _ Turned the [B] key [A#] _
until you [B] died.
_ _ [C] _ Was [F] free.
[F#] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Highway curve, _ the sun sang low. _ _ _
[E] Luckily on [N] the radio.
_ _ _ _ Cigarette [F] _ _
_ [A#] was burning [N] slow. _ _
[A] So breathe.
[F#m] _ _ _ [A#] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ Just yellow [N] lines _ [F#] and tire marks. _
_ _ Sun kissed skin _ and handle bar.
_ _ _ And where I _ _ stood is where I was _ to be.
[A#] _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] No enemies _ _ to [F#m] call my own. _
No porch light _ on the corner _ [N] room.
_ Where I _ was [F#m] is beautiful. _ _
_ [F#] Because [D] _ _ I _ _ _ [F] was _ _ _ _
[C#] [C] free. _ _ _ _ Free.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Mm. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Mm.
[F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Mm. _ _ _
Mm.
_ _ _ _ One _ _ _ other time. _ _
_ Before I knew _ which life was mine.
_ _ Before I _ left the child behind. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Me.
_ _ _ _ I saw myself _ in summer nights. _
_ Stars lit up like candlelight.
_ _ I'd make my _ _ wish.
But mostly I _ _ _ _ believe.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [C] And yellow _ _ _ lines and tire marks. _
_ [F] And sun kissed _ skin [C] and handle bar.
And _ where I stood _ _ is where I was _ to _ _ _ be.
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Once upon a _ _ _ _ time.
_ _ _ [F] Decided _ nothing _ [C] good would die.
So _ I would just _ keep on trying. _ _ _
Because _ _ I _ [F] _
[D] was _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ free.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
