*Note* Begins in C and ends in F [Intro] C D Em G [Verse 1]
G            C
There's this feeling

          D                       Em
That I've had since before I remember

  G                         C
A memory that glows like an ember

     D                     Em
Of a place or a time and a home

Em
I almost see it

   G
So close that I could be it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
   C
It calls to me

          D
Something from my past

          Em
Something missing

       G
Like a purpose at last

       C
It's a hope inside

           D
Even though I tried

        Em
To run away from it

                   G
There's nowhere to hide
[Verse 2]
          A
There's a story

     B                       C#m
Of a maiden who lies in a forest

E
Waiting, asleep

      A
And a hero

       B
With a promise to keep

      C#m
And a vow I'd always find you

       E
At last, it's all behind you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
      A
We'll set things right

        B
No more wars to fight

        C#m
A happy ending

       E
As our kingdoms unite

         A
With our hearts as one

        B
Our new life begun

     C#m
In a future that's

                 E
As bright as the sun
[Chorus 1]
        C#m
So I'll close my eyes

    A
And dream of places

     B             E    B
I've been to in my mind

          C#m             A
Where the story ends with love

           B                 E   B
And broken dreams are left behind

  C#m
I made a choice

   A
To hear my voice

  E             B
A story that is mine

                 C#m
Even through the darkness

       A              B
I will make my way to find
N.C. My once upon a time [Interlude] A B E G A [Verse 3]
          D
There's a story

     E                          F#m
Of a life that was changed by a child

A                      D
Broken and torn and defiled

       E
Stolen happy ending

   F#m
So fragile, I could break it

   A
So close that I could take it
[Pre-Chorus 3]
     D
I've paid my price

        E
Made my sacrifice

          F#m
Left with nothing

                       A
But your pain will suffice

        D
So I'll tip the scale

       E
And rewrite the tale

       F#m
With a twist where

               A
Only I will prevail
[Interlude] F [Verse 4]
             Bb
There's a story

     C                          Dm
Of a love that was stolen by vengeance

   F
By jealousy's rage

      Bb              C
And a villain left to rot in a cage

  Dm
A coward using magic

  F
A life cut short, how tragic
[Pre-Chorus 4]
       Bb
I will make her pay

        C
He will curse the day

        Dm
That he robbed me (That she robbed me)

        F
Took my future away

        Bb
Now the time has come

        C
Now the wait is done

       Dm
It's a journey that

      F
We've only begun
[Chorus 2]
        Dm
So I'll chart a course

    Bb
And sail for places

     C             F   C
That I have yet to find

  Dm              Bb
A place where the only

      Gm              C
Happy endings will be mine

   Dm
To leave behind

  Bb
A life confined

   C
By love and loss intertwined

C           Dm
Only in the darkness can

    Bb                  C
You change your fate defined
N.C. By once upon a time [Bridge]
Dm
A choice that we made

Bb
A curse we will break

Dm
Robbed of their memories

    C
Without an escape

Dm
A line that's been drawn

Bb
To rewrite a wrong

Dm
I know there's a place

          C
Somewhere that I belong
[Chorus 3] N.C. When I close my eyes N.C. I dream of places
N.C.                   F  Am
That I have yet to find

Dm                Bb
A place where the only

      Gm              C
Happy endings will be mine

Dm
I made a vow

     Bb
What happens now?

    F                 C
Our story changed somehow

            Dm
Only in the darkness can

    Bb                C
You leave your life defined

                 Dm
Even through the darkness

       Bb             C
I will make my way to find
[Outro] N.C. My once upon a time
