♫ Intro:

G  Em  D  Cadd9




♫ Verse 1:
G
Once upon a time, I was falling in love with you
   Em
My heart and your hands at the end of the avenue
D
Batting my eyes, trying to play it all cool
            Cadd9
But you could see through all of that
     G
When I was sixteen, life seemed an endless stream
    Em
Of romance and chance and movie star beauty queens
D

I tried my best to mold into their extremes
  Cadd9
I never fit the part


♫ Refrain:
G   Em7
Ooh-ooh
D
Ooh-ooh


♫ Verse 2:
G
Once upon a time, life was an open road
Em
Rear view mirror, another sold out show
D
Always some place new to go
          Cadd9
But they all blend into onе
G
All I could see was all that it couldn't be
Em
Felt so bad to be thanklеss and naive
  D
A hotel room with a beautiful view
           Cadd9
What did it matter to me?


♫ Refrain:
If there was no
G    Em7
You-ooh
If there was no
D
You-ooh


♫ Bridge:
C                       D
     And maybe when I'm older
C                     D
  I can put it all to rest
C                      D
  So afraid of growing bitter
C                            D
  Like what the hell did I expect?
N.C.            G        Em7                         D
While the world burns
                             (While the world burns)
                G        Em7                         D
While the world burns
                             (While the world burns)
                G        Em7                         D
While the world burns         While the world burns
