Once Upon Another Time

      D           D
Once upon another time
           D                   D
Somebody's hands who felt like mine
           G              A
Turned the key and took a drive
    D
Was free

        D                   D
Highway curve, the sun sank low
        D          D
Buckley on the radio
    G                 A
Cigarette was burning slow
   D
So breathe
 
            D              D
Just yellow lines and tire marks
               G               A
And sun-kissed skin and handle bars
            D                 G      A D G
And where I stood was where I was to be
 
   D                  D
No enemies to call my own
               G             A
No porch light on to pull me home
            D            G
And where I was is beautiful
  A     G A   D
Because I was free
 
      D           D
Once upon another time
         D                   D
Before I knew which life was mine
         G                A    D
Before I left the child behind me

         D             D
I saw myself in summer nights
              D              D
And stars lit up like candle light
          G               A   D
I make my wish but mostly I believed
 
          D              D
In yellow lines and tire marks
           G               A
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
            D                 G      A D G
And where I stood was where I was to be

      D           D
Once upon another time
        G               A
Decided nothing good in dying
   D                    G
So I would just keep on driving
  A     G A   D             
Because I was free
