D                                                      Em                        
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
D                                                     Em
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days                       
D                                                              Em
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
D                                                            Em                                 
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone
             Em   G     D
And I'll be gone gone tonight
                     Em        G     D
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
                     Em     G      D
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
                  Em
With nothing in between
  D
The story of my life I take her home
  Em                                    G
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
 (G)      D
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
 (D)
The story of my life I give her hope
  Em                                 D           G
I spend her love until she's broke inside
             D
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
  D                                         Em
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change 
  D                                          Em
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
             Em   G     D
And I'll be gone gone tonight
                    Em        G       D
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
                      Em    G      D
The way that I been holdin' on so tight
                 Em
With nothing in between
  D
The story of my life I take her home
  Em                                    G
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
 (G)      D
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
 (D)
The story of my life I give her hope
  Em                                 D           G
I spend her love until she's broke inside
             D
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
  Em                                      D
And I been waiting for this time to come around
  Em                                        D
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
