I think the D chord still sounds a little flat
so maybe throw a few Dsus2 chords in there to
brighten it up a little anyway. Hope you enjoy
this simple but cracker of a tune.
                Once In A While
   GOnce in a while she don't want to cAmall you
   DSpeaking on the tele-pGhone
   GAnd once in your life she won't want to kAmnow you
   BmYou look around,  Cthe one you found she is gDoneD7  
   And that's all the tGime that it tAmakes

Once In A While

G Am

Once in a while she don't want to call you

D G

Speaking on the tele-phone

G Am

And once in your life she won't want to know you

Bm C D D7

You look around, the one you found she is gone

G Am

And that's all the time that it takes

D G

For a heart to turn to stone

G Am

The sweeter the wine the harder to make the break

Bm C D D7

You hear something, about someone you thought you'd known

G Am

So baby don't cry like there's no tomorrow

D G

After the night there's brand new day

G Am

And there'll be no pain and no more sorrow

Bm C D D7

So wash your face, and phone my place, it'll be okay

G Am

And that's all the time that it takes

D G

For a heart to beat again

G Am

So give me a sign that a lover makes

Bm C D

You look around, the one you found is back again...
