Once upon a lonely time

It always seemed the sky was falling
Bm
Down on me
G A
But life's funny you don't own it

Things can change in a single moment
E7 G
That's what happened to me
Chorus:
D
Every time a promise fell through
Bm
Every time my heart broke in two
Em A
And it was always too dark to see the horizon
D
When I thought I had it right in my hand
Bm
It would slip right through like sand
Em E
I didn't know why but now I see
G D Em A D
That life had other pl--ans for me

Verse 2:
I was doing my best, giving my all
Kept hittin' my head up against the wall
Missin' the mark when I thought my
Aim was true
I didn't know just what it meant
But now I see that it was heaven sent
'Cause that's when I met you
CHORUS
(repeat intro)
Bm G
When I was at my worst and couldn't see the light
E7 G
Somehow I knew it would be alright, cause
CHORUS
