There Was A Time chords by Guns N' Roses

Difficulty: Intermediate

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

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

     Am
It was a long time for you,
     Dm
It was a long time for me,
     G
It'd be a long time for anyone,
  F
But looks like it's meant to be.

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

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

     Am
It was a long time for you,
     Dm
It was a long time for me,
     G
It'd be a long time for anyone,
  F
But looks like it's meant to be.


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

Yeah, there was a time,

Didn't wanna know it all,

Didn't wanna know it all and

There was a time,

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

I would do anything for you,

Didn't wanna know it all,
