The Story Rewritten chords by Good Luck

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
B F# G#m E (x2)
G#m B F# E B


Chorus:
B
Had one hot cup of tea
F#
And too much time to think
G#m              E        B
So I rewrote the story of us
                        F#
Where I spoke eloquently
F#
And you responded gently
G#m           E           B
To the use of my soft language

Verse:
B                F#
But I still wore brown and blue
       G#m           E          B
And my curly head of red was stylish
                          F#
All the drunk men and the cool kids
F#
Stepped aside with Kirkwood
G#m            E
Humming like cicada's chorus

B                G#m
Can't escape the feeling
                    E
That I've done this one before
       F#                  B
On the elevator taking me up
                   G#m
To the top of the garage
                      E
Played tapes from the boombox
         F#                       G#m E F# B
'Til the night turns to morning again


Bridge:
B                      G#m                B     G#m
When we were young and brave we shook off every rule
      B      G#m            B      G#m
Maybe in our faith we acted like a fool
            B         G#m           B        G#m
Now there's shades of gray for everything we do
         B          G#m                 B                 G#m              E
How I've longed for something that will make me feel like there's only one answer
              B       G#m             B         G#m
Now I skip to foolish fumbling when I hear your name
            B        G#m               B          G#m
And if this comes to nothing then it's all the same
      G#m                    E
After so much waiting it's a welcome change


Chorus:
B
Had two hot cups of tea
F#
And too much time to think
   G#m           E        B
So I rewrote the story of us
                        F#
Where I spoke eloquently
F#
And you responded gently
G#m           E           B
To the use of my soft language
                            F#
Now there's nothing left to say
                       G#m   E
It feels empty in your place
B                       F#
And I know I've lost my chance
                           G#m   E
This is where we'll always stand


Outro:
  B          F#
I never said nothing
   G#m     E
To move me towards you
  B         F#
I never did nothing
   G#m     E
To move me towards you
  B          F#
I never said nothing
   G#m     E
To move me towards you
  B          F#
I never said nothing
   G#m     E           B
To move me towards you
