🎸 Verse 1:
                    Em              G  C
We fell out by the side of the road
                  Em                G
I came in like a Roman attack or a train off the track
            C
You were taken aback
                   Em           G C
I was there for sharing the load
                  Em                          G
I was there for taking the slack when your spirit was lacking
          C
And your soul was feeling shackled up

Refrain:
Em G C
    Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Em  G  C

🎸 Verse 2:
                         Em       G  C
I was there to help the story unfold
                   Em                        G
But I ended up a thorn in your side with my prickling pride
         C
And inarticulate drive
                      Em            G  C
All you wanted was a glimmer of hope
                       Em
And I exploded like a splitting of Adams
          G                      C
Even Eve couldn't fathom how we shrugged it off as happenstance

Refrain:
Em G C
    Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Em G C
    Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

🎸 Chorus: ,       Em                         G                    C
It's hard to see it now, but I remember once upon a time
There was a world, then there was you and I
Em                           G                     C
  Never dreamed we could be anything less than alright
Until the night when I tried to pick a fight
Em                  G                   C
  No apology could ever make it be alright
But we're still alive, and I still apologize
Em                      G                C
  All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes
Was a little life to illuminate and empathize

🎸 Interlude:
Em  G  C

🎸 Verse 3:
                        Em           G  C
I was shouting in the street I recall
                       Em                   G
You were armadillo in full effect, simply trying to protect
           C
All the space that he left
                            Em            G C
You said, "Didn't you hear about the call?
                           Em                       G
You're bombarding me with previous lovers and then devious brothers
      C
Like everything means nothing at all"

🎸 Chorus:
      Em                         G                    C
It's hard to see it now, but I remember once upon a time
There was a world, then there was you and I
Em                           G                     C
  Never dreamed we could be anything less than alright
Until the night when I tried to pick a fight
Em                  G                   C
  No apology could ever make it be alright
But we're still alive, and I still apologize
Em                      G                C
  All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes
Was a little life to illuminate and empathize

    Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Em G C
    Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
