C                 Fm       C 
Every morning you wake up alone 
        Fm                      G             F 
And you shake up your soul, but nothing stirs 
   C                       Fm       C 
So you take the love of whoever you please 
        Fm                       G 
But you can't find no reason for giving yours 
  
  
Chorus: 
       F 
'Cause once upon a time 
    Em 
You held a love, so strong and fine 
     F              Ab              C 
That all the others simply don't compare 
      F 
She's always on your mind 
    Em                           F      C   Fm6 C F 
But once upon a time you had her there 
  
  
C                     Fm    C 
Drive into town 'most every night 
       Fm                                 G               F 
On the chance that there might be someone waiting for you 
    C                     Fm           C 
You tell yourself, you'll give it your best 
      Fm                       G 
Maybe settle for less, but you never do 
  
  
Chorus: 
       F 
'Cause once upon a time 
    Em 
You held a love, so strong and fine 
     F              Ab              C 
That all the others simply don't compare 
      F 
She's always on your mind 
    Em                           F       
But once upon a time you had her there
