Capo 2
Intro: Am, C, G, G
Am
You change in front of me
C
your eyes get darker every day
G
it happens quietly
G
your focus slowly burns away
F
and if you'd let me hear
G
the things you seem to wanna say
Am
though I'm late
Am
I will wait to go until i know you're somewhere safe
G Am
and even if you chose
C G
to lock yourself away
Am
if i listen close
C G
i can almost hear you say
Chorus
Am
once i was real
C
once I was somebody's child
F
once I could feel
G
Some feeling once in awhile
Am
Once I was here
C
Once i was somebody's friend
F
once I appear
G Am
I will be real once again
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/caleb_kane/once_crd.html ]
Am
You're falling into it
C
An inescapable release
G
Or something intimate
G
between the you that no one sees
F
Is there a way inside
G
You only hide from enemies
Am
'cause I'll wait
I'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easily
G Am
and even if you chose
C G
to lock the world away
Am
if i listen close
C G
i can almost hear you say
2nd Chorus
Am
once i was real
C
once I had something to lose
F
once I could peel
G
Once I was harder to bruise
Am
Once I was here
C
Once i was willing to bend
F
once I appear
G Am
I will be real once again
Solo:
Am, C, G, G
Am
You've fallen farther than
C
I've ever seen you fall before
G
For me to wonder when
G
I'll recognize you anymore
F
To see no light inside your eyes at all
G
To bang my head against the wall
Am G
And force myself to watch you pull away
Am
and even if you chose
C G
to laugh the world away
Am
if i listen close
C G
i can almost hear you say
Chorus (repeat 2x):
Am
once i was real
C
once I was somebody's child
F
once I could feel
G
Some feeling once in awhile
Am
Once I was here
C
Once i was somebody's friend
F
once I appear
G Am
I will be real once again
On the last Am chord only strum once, let ring out. This is my first chord sheet,
so I hope it's okay! :) ~Jessica
