Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Once [C]upon a time there
was an ocean
But now it's a mountain [G]range
[C]Som[G]ething unstoppable set into motio[C]n
[G]Nothing is different,
but [D]everything's [G]changed

[Verse 2]
[G]
It's a dead end job,
and you gets tired of sit[D]tin'
And [G]it's like a nicotine habit you're
always thinking about [D]quittin'
[G]I think about quittin' every
day of the week
When I look out my window
[D]it'[G]s brown and it's bleak

[Verse 3]
Outta [G]here
How am I gonna get outta here?
I'm [D]thinking [G]outta [D]here
When am I gonna get out[G]ta here?
And when will I [C]cash in [G]my lottery ticket
[C]And bury my past with
my [D]burdens [G]and strife?
I want to shake every limb
in the garden of Eden
And make [D]every [C]love [G]the lov[C]e of my [G]life
I figure that [C]once upon a

[Verse 4]
[C]
time I was an ocean
But now I'm a moun[G]tain range
Something unstoppable set [C]into motion
[G]Nothing is different,
but [D]everything's changed
[G]

[Verse 5]
Found a room in the heart of the city,
down by the bridge
Hot plate and [D]TV and [G]beer in the fridge
But I'm [D]easy, I'm [G]open, that's my gift
I can flow [D]with the [G]traffic,
I can drift [D]with [G]the drift
Home again?
[D]Naw, [G]never going home again
Think about home again?
[D]I never [G]think about home

[Verse 6]
But [G]then [D]comes a [C]letter from home
The handwriting's fragile an[D]d s[G]trange
[C]Som[G]ething unstoppable set into motio[C]n
[G]Nothing is different,
but [D]everything's [G]changed

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 7]
The light [G]through the stained
glass was cobalt and red
And the frayed cuffs and collars were
mended by haloes of golden thread
The choir [C]sang,
"Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean"
And all the old hymns and family names came
[G]fluttering down as leaves of emotion

[Verse 8]
As nothing is different, [G]but

[Outro 1]
everything's changed
[G][G]
