Intro: D  


[Verso 1]
 
       D                                    Bm  
It was easier to have fun back when we had nothing  
                  F#m  
nothing much to manage  
                   Em  
back when we were damaged  

               D                            Bm  
Sometimes the freedom we wanted feels so uncool  
                    F#m  
You just clean the pool  
                      Em  
And send the kids to school  



[Refrão]
 
     G                             D  
But oh I remember how you used to shine  
     A  
Back then  
         G                            D  
You went down so easy like a glass of wine  
    A  
My friend  
         G                           D  
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired  
          A  
To do it again  
             Em  D/F#  
But it turns out  
    G                 D  
You only get to do it once  


[Verso 2]
  
             D                                     Bm  
I think it's true what they say that the dream is borrowed  
                    F#m  
You give it back tomorrow  
          Em  
Minus the sorrow  

        D                                       Bm  
And the pain she just comes in to break up the daydream  
                 F#m  
Her knife edges waving  
                          Em  
To keep from feeling the same thing

     G                             D  
But oh I remember how you used to shine  
     A  
Back then  
         G                            D  
You went down so easy like a glass of wine  
    A  
My friend  
         G                           D  
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired  
          A  
To do it again  
             Em  D/F#  
But it turns out  
    G                 D  
You only get to do it once  


[Ponte]
 
                      Bm  
You only get to do it once  
                      D  
You only get to do it once  
                      Bm    A  
You only get to do it once

To do it again  
             Em    D/F#  
But we were wrong  
    G                 D  
You only get to do it once
