Once Upon A Time

[Intro ]
C  Am  Dm  G 


 
C                           Am 
When I was younger, thought romance never died 
Dm                       G 
But now it turns out, my childhood was a lie 
C                            Am 
Guess my Prince Charming got lost on his way 
Dm                     G 
So I'd be screwed if I needed to be saved 
 

 
         F                            C 
If those fairytales were re-written today 
          F                                G 
There's a line or two I think we'd need to change 
 

 
                  F             G               C             Am 
'Cause Jack would probably make Jill carry that bucket up the hill 
        F                    G                C 
And the Beast would say that Beauty ain't his type 
   F               G            C                Am 
Romeo would tell Juliet that he just ain't ready yet 
      F                 G           Am 
Well, honey, that's the story of my life 
                 F           G           C 
But I swear good men existed once upon a time 
 

 
C                                     Am 
Men used to go to war but now they're fighting in the bars 
     Dm                                   G 
They used to take you out, now they don't even have a car 
   C                                  Am 
We used to get love letters, now they don't know to spell 
   Dm                                    G 
So if you want the job done right, girl, do it by yourself 
 

 
                 F             G               C             Am 
'Cause Jack would probably make Jill carry that bucket up the hill 
        F                    G                C 
And the Beast would say that Beauty ain't his type 
   F               G            C                Am 
Romeo would tell Juliet that he just ain't ready yet 
      F                 G           Am 
Well, honey, that's the story of my life 
                 F           G           C 
But I swear good men existed once upon a time 
 

 
         F               G            C 
If those fairytales were re-written today 
                F                 G 
The tramp would wine and dine the lady 
    C                  Am 
And then he'd make her pay 
        F                 G              Am 
I bet Rapunzel would have never left her tower 
             G                                         Am    G/B 
And Sleeping Beauty absolutely would have got her full eight hours 
            Dm                              G 
It's such a shame but that's just men these days 


{Out-Chorus} 
                F             G               C             Am 
'Cause Jack would probably make Jill carry that bucket up the hill 
        F                    G                C 
And the Beast would say that Beauty ain't his type 
   F               G            C                Am 
Romeo would tell Juliet that he just ain't ready yet 
      F                 G           Am 
Well, honey, that's the story of my life 
         F                G               Am 
And they really shouldn't be this hard to find 
                 F           Fm          C 
But I swear good men existed once upon a time
