Chords with lyrics
Tell Me a Story by Phillip Phillips
Tuning: Csus2Csus2 (CGCGCD)
Capo on 3rd fret
This is my first tab, i just figured out how to play it by watching him live and by ear.
The tuning was by
far the hardest part. I still dont know the intro, so feel free to tell me in the comments.
The timing here might be a little off so listen to the song

Tell you a story and it starts with time
E MajorE
Moves to how you live, and learn how to die
C majorC C2 G+G
Another phase in this world that brings death to life
FF
So don't believe in everything you see
E MajorE
Because what you want might not be what you need
C majorC C2 G+G
Hold your breath, jump with me and we'll survive
FF E MajorE G+G G2 G3 G4G4
Cause you are the song that leads me to the light
CHORUS:
C3 G5G5 C3 F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
D4 D MajorD D2 F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3 G5G5
Scared of what's behind you
C3 F2
And scared of what's in front
D4 D MajorD
Live with what you have now
D2 F4
And make the best of what's to come
INTRO: N/A
VERSE:
FF
Tell me a story long and true
E MajorE
We aren't what we say
We are what we do
C majorC C2 G+G
Just pieces of a puzzle to find where we stand just to confused
FF E MajorE G+G G2 G3 G4G4
So you are the moon that pulls me through the night
CHORUS:
C3 G5G5 C3 F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
D4 D MajorD D2 F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3 G5G5
Scared of what's behind you
C3 F2
And scared of what's in front
D4 D MajorD
Live with what you have now
D2 F4
And make the best of what's to come
THE INTERLUDE HERE IS THE SAME AS THE CHORUS. REPEAT 2X
CHORUS AGAIN:
C3 G5G5 C3 F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
D4 D MajorD D2 F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3 G5G5
Scared of what's behind you
C3 F2
And scared of what's in front
D4 D MajorD
Live with what you have now
D2 F4
And make the best of what's to come
