Once It Starts

Roland Faunte


Tom: C

C Em Am Em X3
C Em Am Em C

[Verse]

     C      F   Am
The stove turns on
 Am    F   C
I turn it off
     C      F   Am
But the water keeps
 Am F   C
Getting hot

  C   F    Am
Life gets tough
   Am  F      C
I fix what's wrong
        C       F  Am
But that's not enough
    F                         C
Once it starts it doesn't stop

[Chorus]

  C         F    Am
It's a lifelong ride
   Am       F     C
That I can't get off
   C          F      Am
It's a blindfolded rollercoaster ride
 F    C
Hold on

 C     F     Am
My body's free
    Am       F    C
My thoughts are stuck
      C       F   Am
In the front row seat
    F                              C
And once it starts it doesn't stop

[Verse]

 C          F   Am
The rock rolls down
 Am       F    C
It's like a top
         C     F   Am
It goes spinning 'round
        Am       F    C
Just to stand straight up

  C          F   Am
How it takes your all
   Am         F    C
Just to not screw up
  C          F   Am
Then the bomb goes off
   Am         F    C
Once it starts it doesn't stop

[Bridge]

 C         Em
How lucky am I
                   Am
With how unlucky I am
                  G#m
To be where I am now
               G  C
And be the way I am

  C                Em
The best among the worst
                   Am
The pebble in the sand
                    G#m
The best of all my peers
                     G     C
And the worst of all my friends

 [Chorus]

  C         F    Am
It's a lifelong ride
   Am       F     C
That I can't get off
  c           F      Am
It's a blindfolded rollercoaster ride
 F    C
Hold on


 C     F     Am
My body's free
    Am       F    C
My thoughts are stuck
      C       F   G
In the front row seat
   C          F            C      G      C*
And once it starts it doesn't really stop
