E           B		       A	    
Once upon a time, everything I thought of            
C			 E             F# 
Somehow seemed to rhyme, the wise were always old 
Am			  B    
And the young were always showed                     
E              B         A        
But very early on, I was spun  
C                 E             F# 
A different yarn, tried to get along, 
Am	                   E              
just by knowin right from wrong  
 
Bridge: 
A 
The best offer is a helping hand                     
C		   E  
Everyone needs the promised land                     
A  
And whether you're young or old                      
C				   B 
Never ever let yourself get put on hold              
 
I would sit on grandps's knee, just to wear his hat  
And listen to the tales from his world of make believe   
 
Instrumental bridge                   
  
As the child comes of age, leave him alone           
To turn the page                                     
Luck is the spine, a broken promise of another's mind 
Straight goods really are what money cannot buy 
Choose your side, and walk with pride           
There's no reward for suicide...
