I've never been obliged to stay in one place for too long
     A augmentedA                       D MajorD
There's a bad seed bred inside me and it keeps me moving on
                           G+G
Have I ever been persuaded to give it up and stay at home?

Was I tempted by an angel? Only once, only once

Verse:
                     C majorC       G+G
Now I want to be the kind of girl who'll only make you proud
    A augmentedA                         D MajorD

And if anyone should ask me, have I ever been in love
    A augmentedA                D MajorD
I will think of you and tell them, only once

Only once, for a pair of arms around me, would I die
    D MajorD                        G+G
I will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
  A augmentedA                     D MajorD
And love like this can happen only once, only once

Verse:
                      C majorC      G+G
All the men who try to save me, weave their wicked web around me
    A augmentedA                         D MajorD
All the ones I try to save, drink their fill and leave me lonely
                         G+G
Have I ever felt salvation wash me cleaner than a dove?
   A augmentedA            D MajorD
Was I ever nearly happy? Only once

I share my bed just to forget, I said 'no' only once
