(verso 1)
E5                        C5              G5      D5
  I was the one who would always jump in first
E5                C5               G5     D5
   I didn't think twice to look behind
E5                 C5                  G5                   D5
   Got such a good feeling, just from playing in the dirt
E5        C5     G5       D5
Once when I was little

(verso 2)
E5                  C5                  G5     D5
   We could build a rocket, fly to the moon
E5                C5             G5              D5
   Leave Tuesday morning, and be back for noon
E5               C5         G5                         D5
   There wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do
    E5        C5     G5       D5 E5        C5     G5
Oh, once when I was little, mmm , once when I was little

(refr?o)
                 C5               D5           E5             G5
And yeah I could dream more then,  I could believe more then
         C5           B5       D5
That the world could only get better
           C5              D5            E5            G5
I could be free more then,  I could pretend more then
          C5          B5           D5
That this life could only show me good times
                C5
Once when I was little

(verso 3)
E5                        C5             G5   D5
   There was a time when I trusted everyone
E5               C5                    B5
   There was no place that I wouldn?t go
C5                     D5                 E5        F5
 Spend all day on the hillside next to the barley mow
    E5        C5     G5        D5 E5        C5     G5
Oh, once when I was little, yeah  once when I was little

(refr?o)
             C5               D5          E5             G5
Yeah I could dream more then,  and I believed more then
         C5           B5       D5
That the world would only get better
           C5              D5                E5            G5
I could be free more then,  and I could pretend more then
          C5          B5           D5
That this life could only show me good times
                A5
Once when I was little

...                   D5
    I used to feel so strong
               F5                     E5
Even when they tell me, tell me I was wrong
                       A5
That I can't live in a magic world
                              D5
Cause it's time for me to grow up
                         G5
And I got to be like the rest of them
       F5                    E5
When I know things have been lost, oh

(refr?o)
           C5              D5               E5             G5
I could pretend more then,  and I could believe more then
         C5               B5       D5
That the world, it would only get better
                C5                      D5
Whoa, I could believe more then, yes I could
               E5           G5
And I could pretend more then
          C5              B5           D5
That this life, it could only show me good times
                C5         E5   C5   G5  D5
Once when I was little

E5                   C5                     G5     D5
   So here comes the next one, the next in line
E5                     C5                 G5       D5
  Stay as young as you can, for the longest time
E5                       C5          G5                          D5
   Cause those days flew by like a breeze just passing through
E5        C5     G5
Once when I was little.
