Am
Once upon a time we had a lot to fight for
Em
We had a dream, we had a plan
Am
Sparks in the air, we spread a lot of envy
Em
Didn’t not to care, once upon a time

  Am
Remember when I swore my love is never ending
Em
And you and I will never die
  Am
Remember when I swore
          Em
We had it all
          D
We had it all

Chorus:
Em     D
Sail away
C             G
It’s time to leave
C      G   Am            D
Rainy days are yours to keep

Em     D
Fade away
C             G
The night is calling my name
C          G
You will stay
Am          D
I’ll sail away

Once upon a time we used to burn candles
We had a place to call a home
The dream that we lived
Was better than divine
Every day was like a gift
Once upon a time

Remember when you swore
Your love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when you swore
We had it all
We'd never fall

Chorus

Em            Am      G          F#
No reason to lie, no need to pretend
                 B                 C
I’m grateful to die to live once again
                 Am
I’m fearless to fly
     G            F#
And reach for the end
                  B
And reach for the end

       C Cm
Sail away

Chorus:
F#m    E
Sail away
D             A
It’s time to leave

Rainy days are yours to keep

Fade away
D             A
The night is calling my name
D          A
You will stay
Bm          E
I’ll sail away

      F#m E D A
Sail away
D             A             Bm E
The night is calling my name
      F#m E D A
Sail away
