[Am] [C] [Am] [C]

[Am] Written in these walls are
the [G] stories that
I cant [C] explain
I [Am] leave my heart open but

She [Am] told me in the morning

It [Am] seems to me that when I die
these [F] words will be written on my [C] stone

And Ill be [F] gone [G] gone [Am] tonight
The ground beneath my [F] feet
is [G] open [Am] wide
The way that I been [F] holdin [G] on too [Am] tight
With nothing in [G] between

The [C] story of my life I take her home
I [F] drive all night to keep her warm and [Am] time
Is [F] frozen.. [C] (the story of, the story of)
The [C] story of my life I give her hope
I [F] spend her love until shes broke [Am] inside

[Am] Written on these walls are the
[G] colors that I cant [C] change
[Am] Leave my heart open but it
[G] stays right here in its [C] cage

I [Am] know that in the morning
Ill [F] see us in the light upon your [C] ear
[Am] Although I am broken,
my [F] heart is untamed [C] still

And Ill be [F] gone [G] gone [Am] tonight
The ground beneath my [F] feet is [G] open [Am] wide
The way that I been [F] holdin [G] on too [Am] tight
