Once Upon A Time chords by Darren Criss

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 1st
VERSE
 C                                   Dm
'The End' never seemed like it was good enough

 F                              C
Two little words seemed too small

 C                             Dm
I turned the page to find a blank one

             F                                     C
As if the ones before never really happened at all



PRE-CHORUS
 Am                                            Em
But what about the love, what about the old obsessions

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
 F                    G              E
We fell into when they were new

 Am                                        Em
What about the late at night heartfelt confessions

  F
The things we tried, the tears we cried

            G
Well they seem to hide away



CHORUS
 C
I've got one more part for the story book

 F
One more road that I should've took

 Am                        G               C
One more thing that used to hide my heart

 C
I've got one more place in my memory

 F
Where I wish with every part of me

 Am                      G               C
I could go back, go back to the start


              Am                                   F
I know it's too far down and much too high to climb

                   Am
But why can't we bring it all back

     G
To once upon a time



VERSE
 C                               Dm
Here we are, standing at the finish line

        F                                  C
And I swear, it's like we came a million miles

 C                                    Dm                      F
And if I take one more step, I will forget the rivers we crossed

                           C
Our happy ending will be lost if we say goodbye



PRE-CHORUS
 Am                                        Em
But what about the way our fable wasn't fiction

         F                      G          E
It was real to you, it was real to me

 Am                                  Em
So maybe our love was a lovely contradiction

 Dm
We were never sure of what we were

          F                   G
But we knew we could never be



CHORUS
                C
And now I got one more part for the story book

 F
One more road that I should've took

 Am                        G               C
One more thing that used to hide my heart

 C
I've got one more place in my memory

 F
Where I wish with every part of me

 Am                      G               C
I could go back, go back to the start


              Am                                   F
I know it's too far down and much too high to climb

                   Am
But why can't we bring it all back

     G
To once upon a time



SOLO
C F Am-G C

PRE-CHORUS
      Am                                       Em
But what about the way our fable wasn't fiction

         F                      G           E
It was real to you, it was real to me

     Am                                           Em
So what about the ups and downs and all the lessons

       F
The things we learned, the stones we turned

             G
Well that bridge has burned away




And now it's just...
 C
One more part for the story book

 F
One more road that I should've took

 Am                      G                  C
One more thing that used to hide my heart


                    Am                                  F
Yeah I know it's too far down and much too high to climb

                            Am
Oh, I just wish we could bring it all back

           G              C
To that once upon a time



Na na na...
C F Am-G C (same chords as chorus)


OUTRO
 C                     F
Back to the start, back to your heart

 Am           G            C
To that once upon a time

 C                     F
Back to the start, back to your heart

 Am          G             C
To that once upon a time


              Am                                    F
I know it's too far down and much too high to climb

                            Am
Oh, I just wish we could bring it all back

           G              C
To that once upon a time
