Em                          C
One day your story will be told
Am                           C
One of the lucky ones who's made his name
Em                         C
One day they'll make you glorious
Am                            C
Beneath the lights of your deserved fame

       G          Bm
And it all comes round
F          E7              Am      Am7 
Once in a lifetime like it always does
Cm                                G         G7 
Everybody loves you cause you've taken a chance
E                      A
Out on a dance to the moon
     Cm
Too soon

Chorus:
                 G       Bm
And they'll say told you so
F           E7                Am       Am7 
We were the ones who saw you first of all
Cm
We always knew that you were
G            G7        Am
one of the brightest stars

One day they'll tell you that you've changed
Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare
One day you'll hope to make the grave
Before the papers choose to send you there

And it all comes round
Once in a lifetime like it always does
Nobody loves you cause you've taken a chance
Out on a dance to the moon
Too soon
