[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Seems at the time, it will be just the once

A
And even I used to be innocent once

Em
I couldn't wait, get us out of this place

       Bm
Before once becomes once in a while
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
Soon it's a race, it's a rush and a high

A
Steal an embrace, it starts with one little lie

Em
Try once again to redefine now and then

       Bm
Before once becomes once in a while
[Chorus]
                  Em
Said it would be just the once

                  A
Said it would bе just the once

                  Em
Said it would be just for fun

                 Bm
Said it would bе just for fun
Just the once [Verse 3]
Cmaj7
Once you arrive, there's only so far to fall

A
Ask how you got here, it gets hard to recall

Em
Head for the door, it pulls you back in once more

      Bm
Baby, once becomes once in a while
[Chorus]
                  Em
Said it would be just the once

                 A
Said it would be just the once

                 Em
Said it would be just for fun

                 Bm
Said it would be just for fun
Just the once
                Em
Said it would be

N.C. [Bridge] Bm A Cmaj7 A E
            Cmaj7           B7
Though we trace the outline clearly

   Em           E
Of morality and honesty

   Cmaj7              B7
We observe the outline rarely

      Em          E
And eventually, unknowingly

    Cmaj7
We erase the outline
[Verse 4]
Cmaj7
What happens when the ground beneath disappears?

A
What once were days will feel like thousands of years

Em
But who's to say it isn't better this way

Bm
Look at me, now I'm free, you'll survive
[Chorus]
                 Em
Said it would be just the once

                 A
Said it would be just the once

                 Em
Said it would be just for fun

                 Bm
Said it would be just for fun
Just the once
              Em
Said it would be

A
Once

Em
