Intro: C#m | C#m | E Esus₄ | E  } 2 times

C#m
Written in these walls
                               E      Esus₄  E
Are the stories that I can’t explain,
  C#m
I leave my heart open
                                  E     Esus₄  E
But it stays right here empty for days.
    C#m
She told me in the morning
          A
She don’t feel the same
 Amaj           E      Esus₄  E
About us in her bones,
   C#m                               A
It seems to me that when I die these words
        Amaj          E      Esus₄  E
Will be written on my stone.

       E       A     B      C#m
   And I’ll be gone, gone tonight,
                         A       B    C#m
   The ground beneath my feet is open wide,
                       A       B      C#m
   The way that I been holding on too tight,
                      B     B₇
   With nothing in-between.

Chorus:
         E                            Emaj
     The story of my life, I take her home,
       A                                B   C#m
     I drive all night to keep her warm and time
        A  E
     Is frozen. (The story of, the story of…)
         E                            Emaj
     The story of my life, I give her hope,
       A                                B  C#m
     I spend her love until she’s broke inside,
  A                  E
     The story of my life.
     (The story of, the story of…)

Written on these walls
Are the colors that I can’t change,
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in its cage.
I know that in the morning
Now I see us in the light upon your ear,
Although I am broken, my heart
Is untamed still.

   And I’ll be gone, gone tonight,
   The fire beneath my feet is burning bright,
   The way that I been holding on so tight,
   With nothing in-between.

Chorus:
     The story of my life, I take her home,
     I drive all night to keep her warm and time
     Is frozen. (The story of, the story of…)
     The story of my life, I give her hope,
     I spend her love until she’s broke inside,
     The story of my life.
     (The story of, the story of…)

                 F#m₇
   And I’ve been waiting
   F#m₇_/₆   F#m₇    F#m₇add₁₁ B Bsus₂  B
   For this time to come around,
             F#m₇    F#m₇_/₆ F#m₇
   But baby, running after you
           F#m₇add₁₁   B       B₇sus₂
   Is like chasing the clouds.

Chorus:
         E
     The story of my life, I take her home,
       A                                B   C#m
     I drive all night to keep her warm and time
           Amaj
     Is frozen.

         E                            Emaj
     The story of my life, I give her hope
     (Give her hope),
       A                                B  C#m
     I spend her love until she’s broke inside,
  A                 E
     The story of my life.
     (The story of…)
                       A
     The story of my life.
                  C#m  A
     The story of my life.
     (The story of, the story of…)
                  E
     The story of my life.
