Intro: Am, C (x2)

Verse:
(Harry)
 Am                                                      C
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
   Am                                                  C
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

(Liam)
   Am                                                               C
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
   Am                                                            C
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone


Pre-chorus:
(Zayn)
           Am    Em      C
And I'll be gone gone tonight
                      Am     Em     C
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
                     Am     Em      C
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
                    G
With nothing in between


Chorus:
      C              
The story of my life I take her home
   F
I drive all night to keep her warm 
     Am
and time
      C
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
      C
The story of my life I give her hope
   F                                 Am
I spend her love until she's broke inside
                C
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)


Verse:

(Niall)
[Am and C]
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
[Am and C]
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

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

The way that I been holdin' on so tight
[G]
With nothing in between


Chorus:

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


Bridge:
(Zayn)
            Am                               F
And I been waiting for this time to come around
         Am                                       F
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds


Chorus:
*only strum once per chord until the last C and it builds up*

The story of my life I take her home
[F and Am]
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
[C]
Is frozen

[F and Am]
I spend her love until she's broke inside
[C]
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

The story of my life
