[Chorus] (Low dynamics)
Cadd9 G7
This is the story of a girl,
A7sus4 D
who cried a river and drowned the whole world
Bm Cadd9
and while she looks so sad in photographs,
A7sus4
I absolutely love her
G7 D Cadd9 G7 D Cadd9
when she smiles
[Verse 1]
Bm Cadd9
How many days in a year
G7 D
she woke up with hope but she only found tears
Bm Cadd9
And I can be so insincere
G7 D
making the promises never for real
Bm Cadd9
As long as she stands there waiting
G7 D
Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes
Bm Cadd9
How many days disappear
G7 D
You look in the mirror, so how do you choose
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 D/F#
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
G7 A7sus4
and your hair never falls in quite the same way,
Em7 D/F# A7sus4
you never seem to run out of things to say
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G7
This is the story of a girl,
A7sus4 D
who cried a river and drowned the whole world
Bm Cadd9
and while she looks so sad in photographs,
A7sus4
I absolutely love her
G7 D Cadd9 G7 D Cadd9
when she smiles
[Verse 2]
Bm Cadd9
How many lovers would stay
G7 D
just to put up with this everyday and all day
Bm Cadd9
How did we wind up this way,
G7 D
watching our mouths for the words that we say
Bm Cadd9
As long as we stand here waiting
G7 D
wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
Bm Cadd9
How do we get there today
G7 D
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 D/F#
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
G7 A7sus4
and your hair never falls in quite the same way,
Em7 D/F# A7sus4
you never seem to run out of things to say
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G7
This is the story of a girl,
A7sus4 D
who cried a river and drowned the whole world
Bm Cadd9
and while she looks so sad and lonely there,
A7sus4
I absolutely love her
Em7 D/F# G7 A7sus4 Em7 D/F# A7sus4
when she smiles
[Instrumental] (guitar solo)
