Verse 1:
N.C.
I told a story, it began and then it ended
N.C.
And in the middle you were hanging by a thread
N.C.
Oh I could tell that you knew what was gonna happen
             G                     D                 G
So I changed course and turned the plot right on its head

            G          D                  G
There was a murder, an affair and lots of money
          G              D                    G
A girl so beautiful they thought that she was dim
           C              Cm                    G         F
Oh I could see it in your eyes you thought it'd be her in disguise
      D                          G
But I gotcha cause it was always him

Chorus:
G           C                 G
It won't be long before we're gone
G            C         D
There may be no one to remember
D      C               G                 E
In the meanwhile I'm angling to make you smile
E        D              G
And if I do, my work is done


Verse 2:
         G              D                 G
I told a story, did not know where it was going
           G                 D              G
And not to boast, but it was off to a great start
         C              G                C
It was a while before I noticed you were crying
            G           D             G
Who doesn't love a hero with a broken heart?

               G                   D            G
In the nick of time the loose ends tied up very neatly
             G             D                 G
Count myself lucky that it made sense in the end
           C             Cm           G            F
Some of my other stories won't end on such a happy note
         D                         G
But I'll make it so long as we are friends


Chorus:
G           C                 G
It won't be long before we're gone
G            C         D
There may be no one to remember
D      C                G                E
In the meanwhile I'm angling to make you smile
E        D              G
And if I do, my work is done
G        D              G
And if I do, my work is done
