INTRO: [Cm] [Eb] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[Cm] Written in these walls are the stories that I can't ex-
[Eb]-plain
I
[Cm] leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for
[Eb] days
She
[Cm] told me in the morning she don't
[Ab] feel the same about us in her
[Eb] bones
It
[Cm] seems to me that when I die these
[Ab] words will be written on my
[Eb] stone
PRE-CHORUS 1:
And I'll be
[Ab] gone
[Bb] gone to-
[Cm]-night
The ground beneath my
[Ab] feet is
[Bb] open
[Cm] wide
The way that I been
[Ab] holdin'
[Bb] on too
[Cm] tight
With nothing in be-
[Bb]-tween
CHORUS:
The
[Eb] story of my life, I take her home
I
[Ab] drive all night to keep her warm, and
[Cm] time, is
[Ab] fro-
[Eb]-zen
The
[Eb] story of my life, I give her hope
I
[Ab] spend her love until she's broke in-
[Cm]-side
[Ab], the story of my
[Eb] life
VERSE 2:
[Cm] Written on these walls are the colours that I can't
[Eb] change
[Cm] Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its
[Eb] cage
I
[Cm] know that in the morning now, I'll
[Ab] see us in the light upon the
[Eb] hill
Al-
[Cm]-though I am broken, my
[Ab] heart is untamed
[Eb] still
PRE-CHORUS 2:
And I'll be
[Ab] gone
[Bb] gone to-
[Cm]-night
The fire beneath my
[Ab] feet is
[Bb] burning
[Cm] bright
The way that I been
[Ab] holdin'
[Bb] on so
[Cm] tight
With nothing in be-
[Bb]-tween
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
And I been
[Cm] waiting for this time to come a-
[Bb]-round
But baby,
[Cm] running after you is like chasing the
[Bb] clouds
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO:
The story of my
[Eb] life
[Ab]
The story of my
[Cm] life
[Ab]
The story of
[Eb] my life
