Hi guys! This is my first tab, and I wrote it for piano, so my apologies if it's 
weird on a different instrument. Ratings and critiques are much appreciated. Rise 
up, fellow Starkids!


Ab           Eb/G     Db
There was a time when life had meaning
Dbm
Not so long ago
Ab         Eb/G          Db
I knew the lines, it was easy being
Dbm             Ebsus4  Eb
The star of the show
Fm
There was a time
[ch]Fm/Eb[/ch]
When things were fine
Db           C7        Fm
I could make wine from water
E                     Gb
There was a time when I was happy
Db        Ebsus4 Eb  Ab 
When I was Harry Potter


Ab          Eb/G      Db
There was a time when I was hopeful
Dbm
When I was good inside
Ab       Eb/G      Db
Everyone said that I was evil
Dbm             Ebsus4 Eb
Maybe they were right
Fm
I changed my name
[ch]Fm/Eb[/ch]
I went insane
Db         C7      Fm
I've never felt so little
E                     Gb
I was a fool to think they could love me
Db (C#)     Ebsus4 Eb  Ab   (D# G#)
When I was Thomas Riddle


E
I've fallen
E+
From up high
[ch]Dbm/E[/ch]           Am
The world has said goodbye
E
I'm not an angel
E+
Not the answer
[ch]Dbm/E[/ch]            Am
I'm just going nowhere faster


E           B/Eb    A
There was a time I was a hero
Am              E
But that hero's gone
E       B/Eb       A
Looking back I can hardly see him
Am              E
Everyone's moved on


E
Cast me aside
E+
Throw me away
[ch]Dbm/E[/ch]
Go on, forget
E7
Yesterday
A            Am         E   E7  A
And I'll try forgetting too

Bm                     A            E
But I wish it was just like it was before
Bm                 A             E
I wish it was just like it was before


F#
Now I've fallen
F#+
From up high
[ch]Ebm/F#[/ch]         Bm
The world has said goodbye
F#
I'm not an angel
F#+
Not the answer
[ch]Ebm/F#[/ch]          Bm
How did life become disaster?
Db             Db7
I'm just going nowhere faster


            Ebm
There was a time before
  F#
I was adored
   B     Bb7     Ebm
By every son and daughter
D                     E
There was a time when I was happy
     B     Bm    F#  F#+ F#
When I was Harry Potter
