[Intro] F#m B [Verse 1] E Once I was a man G#m Stronger than the shelf A Once there was a plan B But one can never tell F#m Once a mother's gone B The children raise themselves [Verse 2] E Once I was alive G#m Breathing in the air A Now the more I lie B The less I lose my hair F#m Now the road is wide B Now the people stare F#m Waiting open-eyed B For once a meaning there [Verse 3] E For one can see the light G#m Underneath the bed C#m For months there at a time G#m Believing every thread G And months would flutter by Bm And fears would all have fled C And it'll all be fine D At least that's what you said Am Whoa D [Verse 4] G I want to buy a house Bm I want to make a stand C I want to love a girl D I want to love a man Am I want to kill the past D I want to stop the sand Am I want another chance D But one is all you have [Verse 5] G But if once more I could feel Bm What I felt before Em I'd hold it like it's real Bm I'd never let it fall Bb I'd blow up every bridge Dm I'd build up every wall Eb And nothing could get in F But nothing could be born Cm F Whoa Cm F Whoa [Verse 6] Bb And everything looks nice Dm Nothing is unwell Eb But once the fruit of God F Forever live in hell Cm And once you choose a side F There's nothing left to win Cm And once a lover dies F You never love again
Once I was a man
Stronger than the shelf
Once there was a plan
But one can never tell
Once a mother's gone
The children raise themselves
Once I was alive
Breathing in the air
Now the more I lie
The less I lose my hair
Now the road is wide
Now the people stare
Waiting open eyed
For once a meaning there
For one can see the light
Underneath the bed
For months there at a time
Believing every thread
And months would flutter by
And fears would all have fled
And it'll all be fine
At least that's what you said
Whoa
I want to buy a house
I want to make a stand
I want to love a girl
I want to love a man
I want to kill the past
I want to stop the sand
I want another chance
But one is all you have
But if once more I could feel
What I felt before
I'd hold it like it's real
I'd never let it fall
I'd blow up every bridge
I'd build up every wall
And nothing could get in
But nothing could be born
Whoa
Whoa
And everything looks nice
Nothing is unwell
But once the fruit of God
Forever live in hell
And once you choose a side
There's nothing left to win
And once a lover dies
You never love again
