Tom: D
D
[Verse]
C G
I've never been obliged to stay in one place for too long
A D
There's a bad seed bred inside me and it keeps me moving on
G
Have I ever been persuaded to give it up and stay at home?
A D
Was I tempted by an angel? Only once, only once
[Verse]
C G
Now I want to be the kind of girl who'll only make you proud
A D
But the noise and fuss and wanderlust will always drag me down
G
And if anyone should ask me, have I ever been in love
A D
I will think of you and tell them, only once
[Chorus]
G D
Only once did a pair of lips on mine make me cry
A
Only once, for a pair of arms around me, would I die
D G
I will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
A D
And love like this can happen only once, only once
[Verse]
C G
All the men who try to save me, weave their wicked web around me
A D
All the ones I try to save, drink their fill and leave me lonely
G
Have I ever felt salvation wash me cleaner than a dove?
A D
Was I ever nearly happy? Only once
[Chorus]
G D
Only once was a stupid girl allowed to tempt her fate
A
Only once did I think twice and twice was once too late
D G
I'm going down like Jezebel and my body aches like hell
A D
I share my bed just to forget, I said 'no' only once
[Instrumental]
G D
D A
[Chorus]
D G
I will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
A D A D
And love like this can happen only once, only once
