Intro: D 

 D                                 G             D 
Daddy I can't sleep tonight, it's happening again, 
 G                          Gm                              D 
Voices in the kitchen are shouting and it's keeping me awake, 
                Em 
Is it something I've done wrong? 
           Bm 
Maybe it's all my fault, 
      Em                         A 
And why is Mummy crying all the time? 

 D                           G              D 
Lately I've been dreaming, dreaming of the day, 
 G                         Gm                    D 
We will come together and be a happy family again, 
                Em                       Bm 
Remember how it used to be, sitting here on my bed, 
 Em 
Both of you with stories, 
          A               D 
When you came to say goodnight, 

A                               D 
Once upon a time you must have loved her, 
     Em 
And held her in your arms, 
     A                  F#                 Bm 
And told her she's the best thing in your life, 
          G       D 
And it's so sad, so bad, 
     Em                              A        D  G D A 
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore, 

 D                       G                 D 
Someday when I'm older, will it be the same? 
    G                          Gm                                D 
To wake up in the morning and find that everything in life has changed, 
                      Em 
Well I never want to see that day, 
                 Bm 
I never want to leave this home, 
     Em                          A                D 
But most of all I never want to hear you say goodbye, 

A                               D 
Once upon a time you must have loved her, 
     Em 
And held her in your arms, 
     A                  F#                 Bm 
And told her she's the best thing in your world, 
          G       D 
And it's so sad, so bad, 
     Em                              A    Bb  Bm 
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore, 
     Em                                  A 
To think that you don't love her like before, 
                D A D G D 
Once upon a time.
