E                 A
There are so many things out there
G#                A             Am
So many stones to turn and stare at
G#m             C#m    C#            A
I'm sure you're sorry, but it's not enough
            Am
To balance off

E               A
I can recall a happy song
G#                  A           Am
But such a lot has turned out wrong
G#m        C#m     C#      A
I'm only starting to apprecaite
            Am
How dark it got


CHORUS
           E - A - Am - E
Once in a while
           E - A - Am - E
Once in a while
          F#m        B
Once in a while everything was perfect
D          E          A  D
Till you dragged the cat in
           E - A - Am - E
Once in a while
           E - A - Am - E
Once in a while


BRIDGE
B         E
Until you ask me to
G#           C#m
I don't know what I'll do
G#m                      B
I don't wanna drive you away
G#m                      B
I don't wanna beg you to stay
G#m            B
But I can't forgive you
          C#m        D    A - Am - E
'Till you ask me one day


VERSE 2
E                    A
I threatened I would pack my bags
G#             A          Am
How could ever let that happen
G#m             C#m    C#            A
I'm sure you're sorry, but you never show
      Am
Any regret

E                   A
I can provide the compliments
G#                   A        Am
To ease your mind at my expense
G#m         C#m     C#             A
I know you love me, but I'd rather've found
                Am
You cared back then


CHORUS
           E - A - Am - E
Once in a while
           E - A - Am - E
Once in a while
          F#m        B
Once in a while everything was perfect
D         E         A  D
Till the cat came crawlin'
           E - A - Am - E
Into your mind
              E - A - Am - E
And you went blind
           E - A - Am - E
All of the time


E - A - Am - E
