There Was A Time chords by Guns N' Roses

Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Intermediate

DmDm
Broken glass and cigarettes,
C majorC
Writing on the wall,
     G+G
It was a bargain for the summer,
   FF
And I thought I had it all.
     DmDm
I was the one who gave you everything,
C majorC
The one who took the fall,
       G+G
You were the one who would do anything,
  FF
The one who can't recall.

DmDm
Where she was while she was sleeping,
C majorC
In another woman's bed,
    G+G
Or the doctors or the lawyers,
   FF
Or a stranger that she met.
      DmDm
If there's nothing I can gain from this,
C majorC
Or anything at all,
    G+G
It'd be the knowledge that ya gave me,
    FF
When I thought I'd heard it all.

     A minorAm
It was a long time for you,
     DmDm
It was a long time for me,
     G+G
It'd be a long time for anyone,
  FF
But looks like it's meant to be.

DmDm
Social class and registers,
C majorC
Cocaine in the hall,
    G+G
All the way from California,
    FF
On the way to your next call
     DmDm
To those non-negotiations,
C majorC
To simulate a call
    G+G
All the bad of learning evils and
   FF
Your ways around the laws
   DmDm
That keep you locked up sitting pretty,
   C majorC
On a pedestal up there
  G+G
And now you're sleeping like an angel,
  FF
To any man who'd fit in

DmDm
If there's something I can make of this,
C majorC
Or anything at all,
    G+G
It'd be the devil hates a loser and
  FF
You thought you had it all.

     A minorAm
It was a long time for you,
     DmDm
It was a long time for me,
     G+G
It'd be a long time for anyone,
  FF
But looks like it's meant to be.

  DmDm           C majorC
If I could go back in time to the place
A augmentedA
In my soul, there all alone,
DmDm
Lonely tear drops,
C majorC  A minorAm
Ooh, are calling you.
C majorC             D MajorD
But I don't wanna know it now,
A minorAm         C majorC             DmDm
'Cause knowing you it won't it change a damn thing.
G+G        FF
But there was a time.

(Solo)

C majorC      DmDm
Yeah, there was a time,
C majorC
Didn't wanna know it all,
C majorC
Didn't wanna know it all and
G+G           FF
I don't wanna know it now,

C majorC      DmDm
Yeah, there was a time,
C majorC
Didn't wanna know it all,
C majorC
Didn't wanna know it all and
G+G           FF
I don't wanna know it now,

DmDm             C majorC
Oh, I would do anything for you,
      DmDm
There was a time,
DmDm           C majorC
I would do anything for you,
DmDm             C majorC
Oh, I would do anything for you,
      DmDm
There was a time.

(Solo)
      DmDm
There was a time,

Yeah, there was a time,

C majorC
Didn't wanna know it all,
