Once Upon A Me

       G                       C
If you have a minute, come and sit a
 while with me
      D                         
This song comes off as happy but 
      G
it’s kinda sad you see…
    C                   G
The me in the mirror I looked at 
yesterday
            C                      
Though she wanted to change, 
      D
somehow she looks the same today


     G                     C      
Been feelin' kind of blue, anxiety
           D
 too, I’ve almost given up
        G                      
Since nobody will listen to the 
  C
things I have to say
     G                       A    
It’s useless anyway, so I’ll bury 
               G
my face in my knees


[Pre-Chorus]

       A                           
One by one the tears they start to 
           G
fall, does no one care at all?
            C                      
But just as I was gonna quit 
  D
someone responded --
                      A          
“Hey, don’t you know? No one will 
                 G
know what your he~art ho~lds
   C                               
So c’mon open up, I’m here to 
      D
listen you know?”


[Chorus]
           C                     D
Heading towards tomorrow was the me 
of today
           G                       
Waving her hands like crazy saying 
 Em
“see you someday!”
                C                  
Behind, they’re yelling, telling me
       D
 “keep doing your best”
           G
Although a pretty noisy chorus, I 
love them all to death


         C                     
And so I take off running never 
 D
looking behind
          G                 Em
And as my tears reflect the evening 
glow
             C                    
I say my bye byes, to once upon a 
D                      G
me of now and i go...


[Verse 2]

       G                           
If you have a minute, can you keep 
    C
on sitting here with me?
    D                              
Now that I’m feeling better I won’t
 G
 cry as much you see?
     C                  G         
Just watch my heart, a shining 
         C
star, light up the sky
         D
Hey, did I hear you right just now?


     G                     C      
Been feelin' kind of blue? Anxiety
           D
 too? Did you almost give up
        G                        C
If nobody will listen to the things 
you have to say
    G
I’m here for you okay?
             C       D        
Cause we’re friends, don’t ever 
  G
forget!

[Pre-Chorus]

       A                           
One by one the tears they start to 
           G
fall but now they’re falling down 
your face
C                                
Tell me what’s been going on but 
D
know “It’s gonna be okay”
A                      G         
Hey, now, whatever you do, don’t 
                C
worry cause I’m here by your side
        D
There’s no need to cry

[Chorus]

           C                     D
Heading towards tomorrow was the you
 of today
           G                       
Waving your hands like crazy saying
 Em
 “see you someday!”
                C                  
Behind, they’re yelling, telling 
       D
you “keep doing your best”
           G
Although a pretty noisy chorus, 
don't you love them to death


           C                       
And as you take off running, I 
  D
could see it inside
             G                    
A heart that shines just like the 
Em
evening glow
                C                  
So say your bye byes, to once upon 
  D                        G
a you of now and then go!


[Final Verse]

          G                     C
Could you listen to me one last time
 before you leave?
     D                             
Back then the smallest thing could 
        G
make me burst into tears
     C                  G
But you, and you, were all there to
C                          D
Support me so I guess it’s time I do
 that too


     G                     C      
Was feelin' kind of blue, anxiety 
         D
too, I’d almost given up
          G                   
But you’d pick me back up, and 
        C                        G
listen to the things I say, and come
 by every day
       C      D              G
Now to you, I want to do the same!


[Pre-Chorus]

       A                        
One by one the tears are falling 
           G
down, and in the sea they make you 
splash
    C                              
And flail around but there’s no way
      D
 that I would let you drown!
A                       G
Casting a lifeline with rhythm and 
rhyme
        C                          
Telling you it’s alright, I hope I 
D
made it in time…


[Chorus]

          C                     
Heading towards tomorrow with my 
 D
hand here in yours
        G                     Em
Excited for tomorrow and what it has
 in store
         C                         
And from behind, they hug me, like 
     D
they do everyday
         G
Followed by a noisy chorus I’ll keep
 loving the same


             C                     
And we can’t help but cry and give 
     D
each other a smile
                 G                 
That shined much brighter than the 
Em
evening glow
             C                   D
So I say bye bye, to once upon a 
                G
me of now and I go
