Verse: G D/F# Em C 
Pre-Chorus A C  

Once upon a time there was this boy, he lived in Omaha 
And he met this girl that lived so far away 
Well he tried his best at missing her 
But couldn't bare to wait, to receive the wish that set his heart free 

So he sailed to her 
To the only love he would ever know 

(Instrumental): G D/F# Em C, G D/F# C D 

So he set for sea with open sails 
And journeyed far away 
Trying desperately to make it to her world 
Well he conquered waves, and killer sharks 
And even hurricanes 
But his heart it stayed steadfast on one thing 

And we know that the stars,  
They lead us to our hearts 
And that's all that we'll ever need 

Well his compass it stopped working 
So he sailed by the stars 
And they led him straight to her open arms 
Well it just goes to show  
That when the lighthouse stops calling 
Oh the beacon of love it burns on, it burns on. 

Once upon a time there was this boy 
He lived in Omaha 
And he fell in love with the perfect girl
