Steve Earle - Once you love

^FA long time ago ^Fthere lived a man ^FHe had the world in the ^Dpalm of his hand ^FSultans and kings beat a ^Dpath to his door ^FHe had everything but he ^Dstill wanted more ^FOne day in spring came a ^Flady so fair ^FHe'd never looked on a ^Dbeauty so rare ^FBut he didn't trust her so he ^Dlocked her away ^FAnd his gold lost its luster when ^Dlove died that day

^FOnce you ^Flove, o^Fnce you trust ^Fit ^FOnce you ^Fgive your ^Fsoul is ^Fbare ^FOne false ^Fmove and you ^Fknow you're ^Fbusted ^FOnce you ^Flove you ^Fcare ^D

^FI knew an old man who ^Flived all alone In a ^Fsad Iittle house at the ^Dend of the road He ^Fsat on his front porch in an ^Dold rocking chair And ^Feveryone swore he'd gone ^Dcrazy down there But ^Fno one comes near so ^Fhow could they know He ^Flost someone dear to him ^Donce long ago He ^Fremembers the laughter and ^Dstill tastes the tears And he ^Fstill calls her name out after ^Dall of these years

^FOnce you ^Flove, o^Fnce you trust ^Fit ^FOnce you ^Fgive your ^Fsoul is ^Fbare ^FOne false ^Fmove and you ^Fknow you're ^Fbusted ^FOnce you ^Flove you ^Fcare

You can ^Fkeep it all inside ^{F F} You can ^Frun but you can't hide ^{F F} When you ^Fthink it's safe outside Look behind you, ^Flove will find you ^{F F}

^FOnce you ^Flove, o^Fnce you trust ^Fit ^FOnce you ^Fgive your ^Fsoul is ^Fbare ^FOne false ^Fmove and you ^Fknow you're ^Fbusted ^FOnce you ^Flove you ^Fcare

^FOnce you trust ^Fit ^{F F F}Once you care ^{F F F}(Repeat and fade)
