(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(A) / / / |(Em) / / / |(G) / / / |

(Verse)
(D)Climb on up into (A)mama's bed, it's just (Em)us tonight
Don't (G)need a book, just snuggle in
I'll tell (D)you a story I wish I didn't (A)have to say
About a (Em)girl who fought with all her heart, (G) but still had to walk away

(Chorus)
(D) Once upon a time he loved me
(A) Once upon a time I loved him (Em)too
It all fell apart in a moment (G)
Lord, I wish it wasn't (D)true
(D) 'Cause you deserve the perfect family (A)
(A) The fairytales you know so (Em)well
(Em)Instead of sitting here listening to the (G)story
(G)I wish I didn't have to (D)tell
(D) Ooh (A)ooh
Ooh (Em)ooh ooh ooh (G)ooh

(Verse)
I (D)know it's hard to see (A)mama cry
But I (Em)promise you that (G)we're all gonna be alright
I need (D)you to know that you'll (A)always be loved
You're the (Em)vеry best chapters in the (G)story of us, and it goеs

(Chorus)
(D) Once upon a time he loved me
(A) Once upon a time I loved him (Em)too
It all fell apart in a moment (G)
Lord, I wish it wasn't (D)true
(D) 'Cause you deserve the perfect family
(A) The fairytales you know so (Em)well
Instead of sitting here listening (D/F#)to the (G)story
I wish I didn't have to (Em)tell

(Break)
Now it's (G)time to pick up (D)all these broken (A)piec-(Bm)es
(Em) So that (G)we can be the (D)story we (A)believe in

(Chorus)
(D) Once upon a time it was us three
(A) Starting over, all brand new (Em)
(Em) Dreaming of the happy ending (G)
(G) I always wanted for you (D) 
(D) 'Cause you deserve the perfect family
(A) The fairytales you know so (Em)well
(Em) 'Stead of sitting here listening
To the (G)story I wish I didn't have to (D)tell
(G)Ooh (A)ooh
(G)Oooh (Em)ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

(Outro.)
(Em) The (D)story (G) wish I didn't have to tell - - - - -
