Once upon a time,

trying to procure some loving

flashing cars and counting calories
Am
In an effort to create an aspect

of great importance

Launting their wealth

and their rank to gain acceptance
F
Dm
Yet that feeling of guilt from
G
deliberate mistakes,
C
night after night keep them
Am
ever awake.
Dm
G
Morning heartaches are too much
C
F
Em
for them to take.
F
