       F#                                   D#m
It was easier to have fun back when we had nothing
                 A#m
nothing much to manage
                   G#m
back when we were damaged
               F#                           D#m
Sometimes the freedom we wanted feels so uncool
                    A#m
You just clean the pool
                      G#m
And send the kids to school

Chorus:
     B                             F#
But oh I remember how you used to shine
     C#
Back then
         B                            F#
You went down so easy like a glass of wine
    C#
My friend
         B                           F#
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired
          C#
To do it again
             G#m   F#  
But it turns out
    B                 F#
You only get to do it once

I think it's true what they say that
the dream is borrowed
You give it back tomorrow
Minus the sorrow
And the pain she just comes in to break up
the daydream
Her knife edges waving
To keep from feeling the same thing

Chorus:
But oh, l remember how you used to shine back then
You went down so easy like a glass of wine,
my friend
When the dawn came up, you felt so
inspired to do it again
But it turns out you only get to do it once

                      D#m
You only get to do it once
                      F#
You only get to do it once
                      D#m  C#
You only get to do it once

Chorus:
But oh, I remember how you used to shine back then
You went down so easy like a glass of wine,
my friend
When the dawn came up, you felt
so inspired to do it again
But you were wrong, you only get to do it once
