Maria Mckee – Only Once chords

[Intro]
D

[Verse]
                                   C                 GI've never been obliged to stay in one place for too long
          A                                              DThere's a bad seed bred inside me and it keeps me moving on
                                                     GHave I ever been persuaded to give it up and stay at home?
      A                                    DWas I tempted by an angel? Only once, only once

[Verse]
                                         C             GNow I want to be the kind of girl who'll only make you proud
        A                                                 DBut the noise and fuss and wanderlust will always drag me down
                                                 GAnd if anyone should ask me, have I ever been in love
       A                                DI will think of you and tell them, only once

[Chorus]
     G                                       DOnly once did a pair of lips on mine make me cry
                                                 AOnly once, for a pair of arms around me, would I die
       D                                                GI will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
    A                                         DAnd love like this can happen only once, only once

[Verse]
                                            C           GAll the men who try to save me, weave their wicked web around me
        A                                                 DAll the ones I try to save, drink their fill and leave me lonely
                                                  GHave I ever felt salvation wash me cleaner than a dove?
      A                       DWas I ever nearly happy? Only once

[Chorus]
     G                                           DOnly once was a stupid girl allowed to tempt her fate
                                                   AOnly once did I think twice and twice was once too late
          D                                        GI'm going down like Jezebel and my body aches like hell
        A                                       DI share my bed just to forget, I said 'no' only once

[Chorus]
       D                                                GI will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
    A                                         D     A     DAnd love like this can happen only once, only once
