C Am
Once upon a time you and I
Em
when we were green and easy
F
fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky
C Am
There was nothing we can sell or buy
Em
'Cause all we really needed
F
was our barefeet and a pair of wings to fly.
Pre-Chorus:
Dm G
What do you think darling?
Dm G
Have we lived too much too fast?
Dm G
And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,
Dm G
wishing the time hadn't passed?
CHORUS
C
Can you tell me how it used to be?
Am
Have we missed our chance?
F
Have we changed our hopes for fears
G
and our dreams for plans?
C
Can you tell me how it used to be
Am
when we really cared?
Am7 F
and when love was on our side
G
on our side.
{ [C-Am-Em-F]x2
And the piano goes:(D# - F - F# - F - C# - A# - D# - F - F# - F - C - A#)x2 }
C Am
I remember all times before,
Em
when could spend our livings,
F
staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor.
C Am
Our bocabulary wasn't broad,
Em
I spoke so little English
F
than the word "stress" would sound like something odd.
Pre-Chorus:
Dm G
What do you think darling?
Dm G
Have we lived too much too fast?
Dm G
And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,
Dm G
wishing the time hadn't passed?
CHORUS
C
Can you tell me how it used to be?
Am
Have we missed our chance?
F
Have we changed our hopes for fears
G
and our dreams for plans?
C
Can you tell me how it used to be
Am
when we really cared?
Am7 F
and when love was on our side
G
on our side.
[C-Am-Em-F]x2 And the piano.
BRIDGE:
Dm G
What is your guess darlin'?
Dm G
Have I lived too much too fast?
Dm G
so If you, If you ever come and find me cryin'
Dm G
now you know, now you know why...
CHORUS
C
Can you tell me how it used to be?
Am
Have we missed our chance?
F
Have we changed our hopes for fears
G
and our dreams for plans?
C
Can you tell me how it used to be
Am
when we really cared?
Am7 F
and when love was on our side
G Am
on our side.
