Once In A Lifetime

          B       C#m  A
Once in a lifetime
           B         C#m  A  E
(Once in a lifetime)


[Verse 1]
B                     C#m
 I wanna drink, wanna think
                        A
Write a song about it.  I wanna smoke
                                   B
Make a joke, try to hide the damage
                   C#m                    A
I wanna drive this car right over the edge
              E
Of every bad idea I didn't have yet
B                       C#m
 I look at you, look at me
                       A
Feeling kinda tragic.  Dazed and confused,

Hard to see where we lost the magic
B                 C#m             A
 I never meant to be hypocritical
                   E
This fucking crazy ride's left me cynical

[Pre-Chorus]
E
Just like that
       F#m
I know there's no turning back
      A
We already made this bed
             E
(And I can't even sleep in it)

[Chorus]
          B                   C#m
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
        A
Take it fast and kill me slow
          B                 C#m
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
     A                 E
'Til I hit an all-time low
          B                   C#m
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
             A
To throw out everything we had
          B                 C#m
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
         N.C.
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
          B          C#m  A  E
Once in a lifetime

[Verse 2]
B                     C#m
 I try to run, try to hide
                       A
Just forget about it.  I tell myself

Every night I could live without it
B                 C#m                    A
 I wanna say good-bye to the loneliness
                  E
But every time I do, I make another mess

[Pre-Chorus]
E
Just like that
       F#m
I know there's no looking back
      A
We already made this bed
             E
(And I can't even sleep in it)

[Chorus]
          B                   C#m
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
        A
Take it fast and kill me slow
          B                 C#m
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
     A                 E
'Til I hit an all-time low
          B                   C#m
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
             A
To throw out everything we had
          B                 C#m
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
         A                      N.C.
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
          B       C#m          A
Once in a lifetime,  once in a lifetime
          B       C#m          A         E
Once in a lifetime,  once in a lifetime

[Pre-Chorus]
B         C#m
Just like that
       A
I know there's no turning back
      B              C#m
We already made this bed
            A              E
And I can't even sleep in it

[Chorus]
N.C.      B                   C#m
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
        A
Take it fast and kill me slow
          B                 C#m
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
     N.C.
'Til I hit an all-time low
          B                   C#m
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
             A
To throw out everything we had
          B                 C#m
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
         A                      E
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
          B       C#m          A
Once in a lifetime,  once in a lifetime
          B       C#m          A
Once in a lifetime,  once in a lifetime
