Once Upon A Mind
E-A-D-G-B-E
[Verse 1]
D                A  G
Too much to say,      too much to lose

      Bm                                    A
I get frustrated thinking 'bout the world I brought you to

           Bm                                    A
That don’t decide the how, the when, or if we’ll make it through

I feel that you deserve a chance to know the truth, and to be better than

Bm                                                       A
The ones who came before you only to let pride and money weaken them
[Chorus]
          D          A          G
So be the young, the brave, the powerful

'Cause the world is standing, waiting

        A
For someone to come and change it

             D          A          G
Yeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful

Need someone to be the greatest

So many words       veiling the truth

    Bm                                 A
The earth is turning and it’s time for us to choose

    D               A  G
And people will try     to take you down, too

    Bm                                     A
But if I was a betting man, I’d put all my money on you
[Pre-Chorus]
D                                                 A        G
I know that I have nothing left to give to you to make you better than

Bm                                                          A
The man I failed to be, the friend and father that I know I should have been
[Chorus]
          D          A          G
So be the young, the brave, the powerful

           Bm
'Cause the world is standing, waiting

        A
For someone to come and change it

             D          A          G
Yeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful

          Bm
'Cause we need a soul to save us

         A
Need someone to be the greatest

Nobody shows you the way (Oh, no)

Sometimes it’s hard to see

Who you’re gonna be
