[Intro]
Am  C  x2

[Verse 1]
(Harry)
Am                                                     C
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
  Am                                                     C
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

(Liam)
    Am                               F                              C
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
   Am                                F                           C
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Zayn)
            F    G       Am
And I'll be gone gone tonight
                      F       G     Am
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
                    F       G       Am
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
                  G
With nothing in between

[Chorus]
    C
The story of my life, I take her home
  F
I drive all night to keep her warm
     Am
and time
   F  C
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
    C
The story of my life, I give her hope
  F                                  Am    F
I spend her love until she's broke inside
                C
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
 
[Verse 2]
(Niall)
Am                                                    C
Written on these walls are the colours that I can't change
Am                                                 C
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

(Liam)
  Am                                 F                            C
I know that in the morning now, I'll see us in the light upon the hill
  Am                     F                C
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed still

[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Louis)
            F    G       Am
And I'll be gone gone tonight
                    F       G         Am
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
                    F       G      Am
The way that I been holdin' on so tight
                  G
With nothing in between

[Chorus]
    C
The story of my life, I take her home
  F
I drive all night to keep her warm
     Am
and time
   F  C
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
    C
The story of my life, I give her hope
  F                                  Am    F
I spend her love until she's broke inside
                C
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

[Bridge]
(Zayn)
             Dm                            G
And I been waiting for this time to come around
            Dm                                  G
But baby, running after you is like chasing the clouds

[Chorus]
(Niall)
    C*                  C*
The story of my life, I take her home
  F*                 F*
I drive all night to keep her warm
    Am*
and time
      F
Is frozen

    C
The story of my life, I give her hope
  F                                  Am    F
I spend her love until she's broke inside
                C
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

[Outro]
                C      F
The story of my liiiiiife
                Am     F
The story of my liiiiiife (the story of, the story of)
             C*
The story of my life
