Once Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Once, I was [G]dug up, I was [F]sinking,
[C]I was lon[G]ging to [F]be saved.
[C]I lapped up to the [G]bay bar and [F]I saw [C]her bob
[G]bing like a [F]wave and I [Bb]slowed down.
[F]

[Verse 2]
Just [C]six months this sum[G]mer since [F]I've known
[C]her [G]that she's been [F]away.
[C]And sometimes I still [G]answer to the [F]gone
[C]ghosts that [G]only suckers [F]make.[Dm]
Slow [F]down [G]and hold [Dm]on.[F]
[Dm]Hold on.

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][F][C][G][F][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Even my [G]heroes are [F]almost [C]gone,
almost [G]folding [F]from the flame,
But [C]how low [G]can your fuse glow and [F]warm [C]you until
[G]your torch begin[F]s to fade?

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][F][G][F][Dm][F]

[Verse 4]
I [C]dreamed of [G]a couple dancing [F]close and
[C]drunk in [G]the spary of lights they [F]made.
[C]And once I was dug[G] up, I was[F] sinking,
[C]but now I'm lon[G]ging to [F]be saved.

[Outro 1]
[Dm][F]
