^C'The End' never seemed like it was^Dm good enough ^FTwo little words seemed too s^Cmall ^CI turned the page to find a ^Dmblank one As if the on^Fes before never really happened at a^Cll

PRE-CHORUS

^AmBut what about the love, what about the old^Em obsessions ^FWe fell into when t^Ghey were new ^E ^AmWhat about the late at night heartfelt ^Emconfessions T^Fhe things we tried, the tears we cried Well they s^Geem to hide away

CHORUS

^CI've got one more part for the story book ^FOne more road that I should've took ^AmOne more thing that use^Gd to hide my h^Ceart ^CI've got one more place in my memory ^FWhere I wish with every part of me ^AmI could go back, go b^Gack to the sta^Crt

I know it's t^Amoo far down and much too high to c^Flimb But why can't we b^Amring it all back To o^Gnce upon a time

VERSE

^CHere we are, standing at the f^Dminish line And I s^Fwear, it's like we came a million^C miles ^CAnd if I take one more step, I will^Dm forget the rivers we^F crossed Our happy ending will be l^Cost if we say goodbye

PRE-CHORUS

^AmBut what about the way our fable wasn't^Em fiction It was r^Feal to you, it was re^Gal to me ^E ^AmSo maybe our love was a lovely co^Emntradiction ^DmWe were never sure of what we were But we kn^Few we could never ^Gbe

CHORUS

And now I got o^Cne more part for the story book ^FOne more road that I should've took ^AmOne more thing that use^Gd to hide my h^Ceart ^CI've got one more place in my memory ^FWhere I wish with every part of me ^AmI could go back, go b^Gack to the sta^Crt

I know it's t^Amoo far down and much too high to c^Flimb But why can't we b^Amring it all back To o^Gnce upon a time

SOLO C F Am-G C PRE-CHORUS

And now it's just...

^COne more part for the story book ^FOne more road that I should've took ^AmOne more thing that u^Gsed to hide my he^Cart
