  Cm                                                    D#
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
   Cm                                                    D#
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

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

             G#   A#     Cm
And I'll be gone gone tonight
                       G#     A#    Cm
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
                     G#     A#      Cm
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
                    A#
With nothing in between

Chorus:
      D#
The story of my life I take her home
   G#
I drive all night to keep her warm
     Cm
and time
    G# D#
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
      D#
The story of my life I give her hope
   G#                                 Cm
I spend her love until she's broke inside
 G#              D#
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Written on these walls are the colours that I can't change
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning, now
I'll see us in the light up on the hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed still

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I've been holding on so tight
With nothing in between

Chorus

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

Chorus

                D#   G#
The story of my life
                Cm  G#
The story of my life
(the story of, the story of)
                D#
The story of my life
