Only Once

D

[Verse]
I've never been obliged to stay in 
C                 G
one place for too long
          A                      
There's a bad seed bred inside me 
                        D
and it keeps me moving on
Have I ever been persuaded to give 
                  G
it up and stay at home?
      A                        
Was I tempted by an angel? Only 
            D
once, only once

[Verse]
Now I want to be the kind of girl 
       C             G
who'll only make you proud
        A                 
But the noise and fuss and 
                                D
wanderlust will always drag me down
And if anyone should ask me, have I 
             G
ever been in love
       A                           
I will think of you and tell them, 
     D
only once

[Chorus]
     G                             
Only once did a pair of lips on 
          D
mine make me cry
Only once, for a pair of arms around
             A
 me, would I die
       D                         
I will love you till I'm saved, I 
                       G
will love you from my grave
    A                              
And love like this can happen only 
           D
once, only once

[Verse]
All the men who try to save me, 
            C           G
weave their wicked web around me
        A                        
All the ones I try to save, drink 
                         D
their fill and leave me lonely
Have I ever felt salvation wash me 
               G
cleaner than a dove?
      A                       D
Was I ever nearly happy? Only once

[Chorus]
     G                             
Only once was a stupid girl allowed
              D
 to tempt her fate
Only once did I think twice and 
                   A
twice was once too late
          D                        
I'm going down like Jezebel and my 
                G
body aches like hell
        A                       
I share my bed just to forget, I 
                D
said 'no' only once

[Instrumental]
G      D
D      A

[Chorus]
       D                         
I will love you till I'm saved, I 
                       G
will love you from my grave
    A                              
And love like this can happen only 
           D     A     D
once, only once
