There Was A Time Chords - Guns N Roses






Dm
Broken glass and cigarettes,
C
Writing on the wall,
         G
It was a bargain for the summer,
      F
And I thought I had it all.
          Dm
I was the one who gave you everything,
C
The one who took the fall,
             G
You were the one who would do anything,
    F
The one who can't recall.

Dm
Where she was while she was sleeping,
C
In another woman's bed,
       G
Or the doctors or the lawyers,
     F
Or a stranger that she met.
           Dm
If there's nothing I can gain from this,
C
Or anything at all,
        G
It'd be the knowledge that ya gave me,
       F
When I thought I'd heard it all.

         Am
It was a long time for you,
         Dm
It was a long time for me,
          G
It'd be a long time for anyone,
    F
But looks like it's meant to be.

Dm
Social class and registers,
C
Cocaine in the hall,
        G
All the way from California,
       F
On the way to your next call
         Dm
To those non-negotiations,
C
To simulate a call
        G
All the bad of learning evils and
     F
Your ways around the laws
     Dm
That keep you locked up sitting pretty,
     C
On a pedestal up there
    G
And now you're sleeping like an angel,
   F
To any man who'd fit in

Dm
If there's something I can make of this,
C
Or anything at all,
        G
It'd be the devil hates a loser and
    F
You thought you had it all.

         Am
It was a long time for you,
         Dm
It was a long time for me,
          G
It'd be a long time for anyone,
    F
But looks like it's meant to be.


   Dm                      C
If I could go back in time to the place
A
In my soul, there all alone,
Dm
Lonely tear drops,
C    Am
Ooh, are calling you.
C                         D
But I don't wanna know it now,
Am                 C                         Dm
'Cause knowing you it won't it change a damn thing.
G               F
But there was a time.

(Solo)

C           Dm
Yeah, there was a time,
C
Didn't wanna know it all,
C
Didn't wanna know it all and
G                     F
I don't wanna know it now,

C           Dm
Yeah, there was a time,
C
Didn't wanna know it all,
C
Didn't wanna know it all and
G                     F
I don't wanna know it now,

(Solo)

Dm                          C
Oh, I would do anything for you,
            Dm
There was a time,
Dm                      C
I would do anything for you,
Dm                          C
Oh, I would do anything for you,
            Dm
There was a time.

(Solo)
            Dm
There was a time,
Dm                      C
I would do anything for you,

C           Dm
Yeah, there was a time,

C
Didn't wanna know it all,

C
Didn't wanna know it all,

G                     F
I don't wanna know it now,

C
Didn't wanna know it all,

I don't wanna know it now
