[Intro]
[D]
[Verse1]
It was [D]easier to have fun back when we had n[Bm]nothing
nothing much to ma[F#m]manage
back when we were d[Em]damaged
Sometimes the f[D]freedom we wanted feels so unc[Bm]uncool
You just clean the p[F#m]pool
And send the kids to s[Em]school
[Chorus]
But o[G]oh I remember how you used to s[D]shine
Back [A]then
You went [G]down so easy like a glass of [D]wine
My f[A]friend
When the [G]dawn came up you felt so ins[D]inspired
To do it a[A]again
But it turns [Em]out [D/F#]
You [G]only get to do it [D]once
[Verse2]
I think it's [D]true what
they say that the dream is b[Bm]borrowed
You give it back tom[F#m]tomorrow
Minus the [Em]sorrow
And the [D]pain she just comes
in to break up the d[Bm]daydream
Her knife edges w[F#m]waving
To keep from feeling the s[Em]same thing
[Chorus]
But o[G]oh I remember how you used to s[D]shine
Back [A]then
You went [G]down so easy like a glass of [D]wine
My f[A]friend
When the [G]dawn came up you felt so ins[D]inspired
To do it a[A]again
But it turns [Em]out [D/F#]
You [G]only get to do it [D]once
[Bridge]
You only get to do it [Bm]once
You only get to do it [D]once
You only get to do it [Bm]once [A]
[Interlude]
[D] [B] [x4]
[Chorus]
But o[G]oh I remember how you used to s[D]shine
Back [A]then
You went [G]down so easy like a glass of [D]wine
My f[A]friend
When the [G]dawn came up you felt so ins[D]inspired
To do it a[A]again
But we were w[Em]wrong [D/F#]
You [G]only get to do it [D]once
