[verse 1]
Am                      F
I’m walking through the maze
F          C
You left behind
    Am         F               Em
The ruins of a kingdom lost in time.
  Dm         F             C
A garden overgrow with ivy leavs
  Dm           F             
A labyrinth of twigs and mossy 
  C
green.

[chorus]

Gm7                       C
Once upon time we had the world,
C
We had it all
Gm7                Bb             
I wander back to a sunny summer’s 
C
day
Gm7         Bbmaj7       C
Memories of chasing happiness
C
Behind brick walls
Gm7              Bb
I walk among the tombstones
Bb       C
Where we played.

We were the only ones, we were

like twins
Am                   F    
Love was strange and new and 
       Em
innocent
   Dm                 F           
We danced although we didn’t know 
    C
how to
   Dm          F              
Desire doesn’t care about wrong 
  C
moves.

Gm7                    C
Once upon a time I had you and you

Gm7                Bb        
Before life showed us all those 
         C
other ways
Gm7                 Bbmaj7
We carved our names into the bark
    C
Of a weeping willow tree
Gm7              Bb
Hanging over the tombstones
Bb       C
where we lay.
