-Once in a lifetime-

Verse 1:
B                     Dbm
 I wanna drink, wanna think
                        A
Write a song about it.  I wanna smoke
       E                           B
Make a joke, try to hide the damage
                   Dbm                    A
I wanna drive this car right over the edge
              E
Of every bad idea I didn't have yet
B                       Dbm
 I look at you, look at me
                       A
Feeling kinda tragic.  Dazed and confused,
        E
Hard to see where we lost the magic
B                 Dbm             A
 I never meant to be hypocritical
                   E
This xxxxing crazy ride's left me cynical

Pre-Chorus:
E
Just like that
       Gbm
I know there's no turning back
      A
We already made this bed
             E
-And I can't even sleep in it-

Chorus:
          B                   Dbm
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
        A                E
Take it fast and kill me slow
          B                 Dbm
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
     A                 E
'Til I hit an all-time low
          B                   Dbm
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
             A             E
To throw out everything we had
          B                 Dbm
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
         A                      E
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
          B          Dbm  A  E
Once in a lifetime

Verse 2:
B                     Dbm
 I try to run, try to hide
                       A
Just forget about it.  I tell myself
      E
Every night I could live without it
B                 Dbm                    A
 I wanna say good-bye to the loneliness
                  E
But every time I do, I make another mess

Pre-Chorus:
E
Just like that
       Gbm
I know there's no looking back
      A
We already made this bed
             E
-And I can't even sleep in it-

Chorus:
          B                   Dbm
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
        A                E
Take it fast and kill me slow
          B                 Dbm
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
     A                 E
'Til I hit an all-time low
          B                   Dbm
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
             A             E
To throw out everything we had
          B                 Dbm
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
         A                      -nc-
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
          B       Dbm          A         E
Once in a lifetime,  once in a lifetime
          B       Dbm          A         E
Once in a lifetime,  once in a lifetime

Pre-Chorus:
B         Dbm
Just like that
       A                  E
I know there's no turning back
      B              Dbm
We already made this bed
            A              E
And I can't even sleep in it

Chorus:
-nc-      B                   Dbm
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
        A                E
Take it fast and kill me slow
          B                 Dbm
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
     -nc-
'Til I hit an all-time low
          B                   Dbm
Once in a lifetime, never the right time
             A             E
To throw out everything we had
          B                 Dbm
Try to forget you, gotta pretend to
         A                      E
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
          B       Dbm          A         E
Once in a lifetime,  once in a lifetime
          B       Dbm          A
Once in a lifetime,  once in a lifetime
