Intro: Am-G7-Fmaj7- G2X
AmOnce upon a G7year gone by
She sFmaj7aw herself give iGn
AmEvery time she clG7osed her eyes
She sFmaj7aw what could have bGeen
Well, nAmothing hurts and nG7othing bleeds
When coFmaj7ver's tucked in tGight
AmFunny when the boG7ttom drops
How sFmaj7he forgets to fiGght
GsusTo fighGt
And it's Amone more Em/Gday in Fmaj7par-a-Em/Gdise
AmOne more Em/Gday in Fmaj7par-a-dEm/Gise
As Amdarkness quickly sG7teals the light 
That Fmaj7shined within her eyGes
She Amslowly swallows G7all her fear
And Fmaj7soothes her mind with lGies
Well, Amall she wants and G7all she needs 
Are Fmaj7reasons to survGive
A dAmay in which the G7sun will take heFmaj7r artificial liGght
GsusHer liGght
And it'Ams one morEm/Ge day in Fmaj7par-aEm/G-dise
AmOne more Em/Gday in Fmaj7par-a-dEm/Gise
AmOne more Em/Gday in Fmaj7par-a-dEm/Gise
AmOne last Em/Gchance to Fmaj7feel alEm/Gright

Intro: --- 2X

Am G7

Once upon a year gone by

Fmaj7 G

She saw herself give in

Am G7

Every time she closed her eyes

Fmaj7 G

She saw what could have been

Am G7

Well, nothing hurts and nothing bleeds

Fmaj7 G

When cover's tucked in tight

Am G7

Funny when the bottom drops

How she forgets to fight

Gsus G

To fight

Am Em/G Fmaj7 Em/G

And it's one more day in par-a-dise

Am Em/G Fmaj7 Em/G

One more day in par-a-dise

Am G7

As darkness quickly steals the light

Fmaj7 G

That shined within her eyes

Am G7

She slowly swallows all her fear

Fmaj7 G

And soothes her mind with lies

Am G7

Well, all she wants and all she needs

Fmaj7 G

Are reasons to survive

Am G7 Fmaj7 G

A day in which the sun will take her artificial light

Gsus G

Her light

Am Em/G Fmaj7 Em/G

And it's one more day in par-a-dise

One more day in par-a-dise

One last chance to feel alright
