[Intro]

Am   C


[Verse]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Verse]

  Am                                                C
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
  Am                                                    C
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
    Am                                                             C
I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill
   Am                                                            C
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

           F                             G
And I been waiting for this time to come around
         F                                     G
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

(Strum These Once)
    C
The story of my life I take her home
  F                                    Am
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
       F
Is frozen


[Chorus] (Strum once per chord)
    C
The story of my life I take her home
  F                                    Am
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
  F     C
Is frozen.

(Back to normal strumming)
    C
The story of my life I give her hope
  F                                  Am
I spend her love until she's broke inside
 F      C
The story of my life. (The story of, the story of.)
 Am                  F
The story of my li-i-i-i-ife.
 Am                  F
The story of my li-i-i-i-ife.
             C
The story of my life.
