Intro:
 C    | Am   | F    | G    :


Verse 1:
               C                  Am
Break down the walls that you have built
         F                G
Open the gates and let me in
      C                  Am
I see through your tired eyes
             F                  G
That there is a very old soul inside

Pre-Chorus 1:
              Am
Where is your mum? Where is your dad?
             F
Is there any family that you have?
             C
When it gets dark do you get scared?
       Em
Do you feel like no one cares?
             Am
When was the last time that you smiled?
             F
Or talked to someone in a while?
                C
There's lots of people passing by
        Em           G
Does anyone even say hi?


Chorus:
              C
Tell me your story, tell me where you've been
                     Am
Tell me where you're going, I will listen
                     F
To your tales of the past and the future
              G
Do you have a son or a daughter?
              C
Tell me your story, tell me what you've seen
           Am
Do you get lonely living on the street?
        F                         G
I wanna help you but I don't know what to do
              C    Am    F    G
Tell me your story


Verse 2:
      C                Am
Every time that I walk past
             F                      G
I leave your day's earnings in your hand
          C                Am
But every time that I walk past
           F                           G
I see that what you'd really like is a chat


Pre-Chorus 2:
              Am
Where is your mum? Where is your dad?
             F
Is there any family that you have?
             C
When it gets dark do you get scared?
       Em
Do you feel like no one cares?
           Am
During the night if you can't sleep
             F
Did you ever try just counting sheep
        C
That is what I like to do
                 Em           G
But my life's so different to you


Chorus:
              C
Tell me your story, tell me where you've been
                     Am
Tell me where you're going, I will listen
                     F
To your tales of the past and the future
              G
Do you have a son or a daughter?
              C
Tell me your story, tell me what you've seen
           Am
Do you get lonely living on the street?
        F                         G
I wanna help you but I don't know what to do


Bridge:
            Am
When you're there, lying on the footpath
F                            C
Dear, I hope that help comes near
                 Em                            Am
And I will say a prayer, I'll say a prayer for you
                                   F
When you're lying on the footpath, dear
                       C           Em    G
I hope your skies will clear, clear


Outro:
              C    Am
Tell me your story
              F    G
Tell me your story
              C
Tell me your story
