AND ALL X2

[Verse 1]
  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
  G     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
 G      C
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

[Verse 2]
   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
I know that in the morning
      F                             C
I'll see us in the light upon your ear
   Am                     F                 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
  G     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
 G      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

[Chorus]
    C
The story of my life I take her home
  F                                    Am
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
       F
Is frooooozen

[Chorus]
                               C
The story of my life I give her hope (I give her hope)
    F                                Am          F
I spend her love until she's broke inside 
                C
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
                C         F
The story of my liiiiiiiiife
                Am        F
The story of my liiiiiiiiife (the story of, the story of)
             C
The story of my life
