verse 1  

E          F#m/E 
Once upon another time, 
    E         E2 E   Bm 
Our story had only begun. 
    Bm7               C#/B 
You chose to turn the page, 
    F#m            B7 
And I made choices too... 

E          F#m/E 
Once upon another time 
    E          E2      E       Bm 
We did what we thought must be done... 
    Bm7             C#/B 
And now, we have no choice. 
   F#m             B7 
We do what we must do...  

   E          C#m 
We love... We live... 
    A               C#m 
We give what we can give... 
    Am                    E   
And take what little we deserve... 

verse 2 
Phantom: 

E          F#m/E 
Once upon another time, 
  E            E           Bm 
I knew how our story would end, 
    Bm          C#/B 
And maybe I was wrong, 
    F#m              B7 
But now the moment's gone... 

E                  F#m/E 
Were it still that other time, 
    E            E2   E      Bm 
I'd make time itself somehow bend! 
    Bm7              C#/B 
But now I'm not that strong, 
    F#m               B7 
And time keeps moving on... 

Both: 

   E          C#m 
We love... We live... 
 A               C#m 
We give what we can give... 
    Am                    E   
And take what little we deserve...    

   E          C#m 
We love... We live... 
 A               C#m 
We give what we can give... 
    Am                    E   
And take what little we deserve... 

Outro 

E           F#m/E E 
Once upon another time...
