Am
Written in these walls are the stories
                   C
That I can't explain
   Am
I leave my heart open
                                 C
But it stays right here empty for days
Am
She told me in the morning
          F                             C
She don't feel the same about us in her bones

   Am
It seems to me that when I die
      F                           C
These words will be written on my stone

             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

With nothing in between

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


Am
Written on these walls
                            C
Are the colors that I can't change
Am
Leave my heart open
                                C
But it stays right here in its cage

 Am
I know that in the morning now
   F                               C
It seems like the light upon your head
Am
Althought I'm broken
   F                 C
My heart's standing still


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


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

     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
    C
The story of my life

I give her hope (give her hope)
   F
I spend her love
                   Am
Until she's broke inside (until she's broke inside)

F            C
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
               C F Am
The story of my life
               C F Am
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
F             C
The story of my life.
