  			Intro: Em 

Verso 1:
Em 
Whisper all your secrets 

Tell me all your lies 
Am                 C 
Screaming your confessions 
Em 
Show me where you hide 

 Em 
Long your roots are lying 

Deep with in the dirt 
 Am            C 
Love already dying 
 Em 
Long before its birth 


C                 Am 
If I were me I'd wait forever 
 Em                  G 
What's your hurry, what's your hurry? 
 C                    Am 
Never learned how to say never 
 Em                  G 
What's your worry, what's your worry? 
 C           Am        Em 
Once upon a time, the end 

( Em ) 

Verso 2:
 Em 
Could you hear me calling? 

Did you hear me cry? 
 Am              C 
Do you feel me falling 
  Em 
Frozen in the light? 

 Em 
Space between the moment 

Pause between the breaths 
 Am                C 
Sins between the sermons 
 Em 
Life between the death 


C                 Am 
If I were me I'd wait forever 
 Em                  G 
What's your hurry, what's your hurry? 
 C                    Am 
Never learned how to say never 
 Em                  G 
What's your worry, what's your worry? 
 C           Am        Em 
Once upon a time, the end

 C                    Am 
Never learned how to say never 
 Em                  G 
What's your worry, what's your worry? 
 C                        Am 
Haunting me for all the bother 
 Em             G 
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry... 
 C           Am          Em 
Once upon a time... The end
