The Story Of Us

	  		(intro 2x) D A4 Em7 G 

D                   A                          G 
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us 
                                        D 
How we met and the sparks flew instantly 
             A                           G 
People would say, "They're the lucky ones" 
D                 A                        G 
I used to know my place was a spot next to you 
                                            D 
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat 
                           A                       G 
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on 

Bm                 G 
Oh, a simple complication 
          D               A4 
Miscommunications lead to fall out 
Em7 
So many things that I wish you knew 
G 
So many walls up I can't break through 

D                A4              Em7 
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room 
              G       D 
And we're not speaking 
                 A4              Em7 
And I'm dying to know is it killing you 
                  G 
Like it's killing me? 
Bm                   A                    D 
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate 
                  G 
When it all broke down 
        D                   A                  G 
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now-  Next chapter 

( D  A4 Em7  G ) 

D                    A 
How'd we end up this way? 
                 G 
See me nervously pulling at my clothes 
                       D 
And trying to look busy 
                      A               G 
And you're doing your best to avoid me 

D                         A                          G 
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us 
                                            D 
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here 
                  A                               G 
But you held your pride like you should have held me 

Bm                          G 
Oh, we're scared to see the ending 
           D                  A4 
Why are we pretending this is nothing? 
Em7 
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how 
G 
I've never heard silence quite this loud 

D                A4              Em7 
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room 
              G       D 
And we're not speaking 
                 A4              Em7 
And I'm dying to know is it killing you 
                  G 
Like it's killing me? 
Bm                   A                    D 
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate 
                  G 
When it all broke down 
        D                   A                  G 
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now 

( D A4 Em7 G ) (2x) 

D                               G 
    This is looking like a contest 
( G ) 
Of who can act like they care less 
D                          A              G 
But I liked it better when you were on my side 
D                             G 
The battle's in your hands now 
( G ) 
But I would lay my armor down 
   Bm              A                G 
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight 

Bm 
So many things that you wish I knew 
        A 
But the story of us might be ending soon 

D 
  Now I'm standing alone 
 A4 (2x)                            G              G 
      In a crowded room  and we're not speaking 
        D        A4              Em7 
And I'm dying to know is it killing you 
                  G 
Like it's killing me? 
Bm                   A                    D 
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate 
                  G 
When it all broke down 
        Bm 
And the story of us 
        A                  G                D  A4 
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, no-----ow 
Em7              G       D 
   And we're not speaking 
                 A4              Em7 
And I'm dying to know is it killing you 
                  G 
Like it's killing me? 
Bm                   A                    D 
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate 
                    G 
'Cause we're go-ing down 
        D                   A                  G 
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
