Tuning: Standard CAPO II

This is the title track off of "Stories Don't End" (2013)
It has a few interesting chord transitions to say the least.
         

          C       E         Bm           F
From the paper umbrellas in both of our drinks
       C            F        G   C
To the shadows that walk without us
    C              E             Bm            F
My account of the details is as clear as you'd think
        C               F          G    C
Kept up by friends that still ask about us

       C                          F             
If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book
         C                  F
It'd be longer than I'd recommend
                 C                    E
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
    Am      G     F
But stories don't end


      C          E            Bm         F   
The remains of a person, the habits of a ghost
          C                 F          G    C
You could still find in the places you used to
         C             E         Bm       F
Still reading off cue cards and raising a toast
      C          F          G     C
To the stories I still tell about you


        Dm
But the plot line wanders and versions change
      Am                   F
And I don't know where to quit


               C                              F
If I tried to show every side of you through words of a song
          C                    F
I'd say a fraction of what I'd intend
                 C                     E
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
    Am      G     F
But stories don't end


G                C              F               G 
The next time I see you and my conscience tells me
         G            C                F     G
That the episode has long since been closed
    G             C                F        G
But he's not the one that gets up every morning
             G         C                F
And wonders how long a memory keeps its pose
    G                 C              F
And how much that the man beside you knows
    G               C                F
And how much of the toll it's taken shows


Piano Solo Break:
{Play verse chords over}

       Dm
Like a famous singer that lost his voice
       Am                 F
That we all still want to meet

        C                          F
If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book
        C                     F
It'd be longer than I could defend
                 C                   E
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
    Am      G     F
But stories don't end
Am       G    F
Stories don't end

They go on and on

Am   G

Just someone stops listening
