Verse 1

C                                             G7
When you found somebody new I thought I never would
                                      C
Forget you for I thought then I never could
                                 F C7
But time has taken all the pains away
      C               G7             C
Until now I'm down to hurting once a day

Verse 2

               C7  F
Once a day all day long
           G7                   C
And once a night from dusk till dawn
                         C7      F
The only time I wish you weren't gone
          C    F     C        G7  C
Is once a day  every day  all day long

Verse 3

                                                G7
I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
                                                C
She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
                             C7   F
She sat around and cried her life away
      C           G7            C
Lucky me I'm only crying once a day

Verse 2

               C7  F
Once a day all day long
           G7                   C
And once a night from dusk till dawn
                         C7      F
The only time I wish you weren't gone
          C    F     C        G7  C
Is once a day  every day  all day long
