VERSE 1::
C6C6
Once upon a time, I was on my own

Once upon a time, like you've never known
DmDm
Once upon a time, I would be impressed
C6C6
Once upon a time, my life would be obsessed
DmDm
Once upon a time, once upon a day when
C6C6
I was in my prime, once along the way

CHORUS::
    FF    G+G    C majorC
If you want to know my secret
      FF    G+G   C majorC
Don't come running after me
  FF  G+G   C majorC
For I am just a painter
    DmDm       C majorC  G7G7 C6C6 G7G7
Passing through in history


VERSE 2::
C6C6
Yesterday is gone, yesterday's alright

Yesterday belongs, in my dreams at night
DmDm
Yesterday is swell, yesterday is great
C6C6
Yesterday is strong, remembering can wait
DmDm
Once upon a time, once upon a day when
C6C6
I was in my prime, once along the way

If you want to know an answer
    FF     G+G   C majorC
I can't turn your life around

    DmDm        C majorC    G7G7 C6C6 G7G7
Passing through the underground

VERSE 3::
C6C6
I was in my stride, always at my game

Here comes Mister Cool, along the walk of fame
DmDm
I was in demand, always in control
C6C6
The world was in my hands, my touch had turned to gold
DmDm
Once upon a time, I was in a daze, when
C6C6
Everyday I turned, hearts along the way


CHORUS::
    FF    G+G    C majorC
If you want to know my secret

    DmDm       C majorC  G7G7 C6C6 G7G7
Passing through in history


VERSE 4::
C6C6
Now that I am old, let me rest a spell

All that I am told, I can never tell
DmDm
Never in my life, never will it pass
C6C6
I am still alone, remembering at last
DmDm
Once upon a time, once upon a day, when
C6C6
I was in my prime, once along the way


CHORUS::
    FF    G+G    C majorC
If you want to know an answer
    FF     G+G   C majorC
I can't turn your life around

For I am just a painter
    DmDm        C majorC
Passing through the underground


CHORUS::
    FF    G+G    C majorC
If you want to know my secret
      FF    G+G   C majorC
Don't come running after me

For I am just a painter
    DmDm       C majorC  G7G7 C6C6 G7G7
Passing through in history
