Tom: D
D
[Verse 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Interlude]
D B x4
[Chorus]
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 we were wrong
G D
You only get to do it once
