The Story Of Us (Taylor's Version) chords by Taylor Swift

Intro:

C   B#m   B   B   (x2)



Verse 1:
B                      C                          B
  I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us

How we met and the sparks flew instantly
B                   C                        B
  And people would say, "They’re the lucky ones"
B                     C                         B
  I used to know my place was the spot next to you

Now I'm searchin' the room for an empty seat
B                              C                   B
  ’Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Pre-Chorus:
C                  B#m
Oh, a simple complication
 B          B               B
Miscommunications lead to fallout
B
So many things that I wish you knew
C
So many walls up, I can't break through

Chorus:
B                    C                  B
  Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'
B                   C                   B
  And I’m dyin’ to know, is it killin' you

Like it’s killin' me? Yeah
B#m                     C                      B
  I don't know what to say since th? twist of fate
                    B
When it all broke down
         B#m                 C                  B
And th? story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

Post-Chorus:

Verse 2:
B                       C
  How'd we end up this way?
                  B
See me nervously pulling at my clothes and tryin’ to look busy
B                        C            B
  And you're doin' your best to avoid me
B                          C                          B
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
                                         B
How I was losin' my mind when I saw you here
                    C                            B
But you held your pride like you should've held me

Pre-Chorus:
C                          B#m
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
B              B               B
Why are we pretending this is nothin'?
     B
I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how
 C
I've never heard silence quite this loud

Chorus:
B                    C                  B
  Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'
B                    C                  B
  And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah
B#m                     C                      B
  I don't know what to say since th? twist of fate
                    B
When it all broke down
         B#m                 C                  B
And th? story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

Bridge:
B
  This is looking like a contest
B
Of who can act like they care less
    B#m                     C              B
But I liked it better when you were on my side
B
  The battle's in your hands now
B
  But I would lay my armor down
   B#m              C                B
If you said you'd rather love than fight

Pre-Chorus:
B
So many things that you wish I knew
          C
But the story of us might be ending soon

Chorus:
B                    C                  B
  Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'
B                    C                  B
  And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah
B#m                     C                      B
  I don't know what to say since th? twist of fate
                    B
When it all broke down
         B#m                 C                  B         B  C  B
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we're not speakin'
B                   C                   B
  And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah
B#m                     C                      B
  I don't know what to say since th? twist of fate
                    B
When it all broke down
         B#m                 C                  B
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
