Verse:
                         C
Once upon a time I was a Baker
         G          Am      G
And everybody was impressed
      F                                                     G
But I didn’t need approval because I already knew I was the best
                        C
Everything I made was a masterpiece
       G          Am
It all taste like heaven
    G      F                    G
But then unfortunately I turned 7

                         C
Once upon a time I was a Painter
         G          Am
And everybody said “Wow”
      G         F
“Girl you’re so clever, you’re so talented”
       G
And I agreed and I stood proud
          C
I painted mountains
                     G
I painted blue lakes
          Am
I painted people
                 G
I drew portraits
           F
But then I drew my dad and held it up beside him
      G
And I realised that it looked nothing like him

Chorus:
    Am                G          F
And part of me wished nobody had told her
      Am                G               F     F G
But I guess itʼs just a part of getting older

Verse:
                         C
Once upon a time I was a runner
          G              Am
I was the fastest in the town
                     G             F
And they’d all say nobody will out run her
                              G
Cause she’s the fastest girl around
                         C
Once upon a time I was a dancer
                  G
It took no effort
        Am
I was a Scientist, I was an expert
G        F
 I was a genius and I thought nothing of it
G
 Until they told me that I wasn’t

Chorus:
    Am                G          F
And part of me wished nobody had told her
      Am                G               F
But I guess itʼs just a part of getting older

Bridge:

When you learn
          C
You’re supposed to follow perfectly inside of the lines
              G
And you’re supposed to win at least a couple hundred of times
           Am                              G                              F
Before you even have the right to think or say or show you’re any good at all
                              C
They’ll tell you that there’s only one right way, one paved path
          G
Or you’ll make a fool of yourself and everyone will laugh
        Am                             G                                 F
They’ll make you feel like everybody’s waiting there to watch you as you fall

Outro:
     Am                       G
They sigh, they tell me I’m a dreamer
                          F
They say "Someone’s gotta wake her"
              Am
But I’ll just smile, I’ll say
G                        C     G F G C
Once upon a time I was a baker
