A        D                       A    D
Run away, sugar dancing on your tongue
A      D                     A  D
Any way to grow up and stay young
                 A         D                  A  D
You're getting stuck with papers and the magazines
                A           D
It's just your luck, the strangers
                  A  D
living out your dream

Chorus:
           A
Once in a lifetime
     D                        F#m
You give it away soon as you found it
  E                            A
Another day, another breaking wave
D             F#m    E
Can't live without it

Company, a shadow playing on the wall
And suddenly, you don't miss it at all
You're keeping up; soon, you're gonna be a star
And that's enough to know for certain who you are

Chorus:
           A
Once in a lifetime
     D                        F#m
You give it away soon as you found it
  E                            A
Another day, another breaking wave
D             F#m
Can't live without it
E
Another breaking wave - x2
