Hi!  I love this song and it's so fun to play! A regular 
'A' can be used for the A4 BUT, I think the Em7 really needs 
the 'B' string down and it's SO much easier to go from the A4 
to that Em7! OR... get rid of the A4 & Em7 altogether, use a 
'G' in the Em7's place and the Asus4's become a regular 'A'.  
I think that would probably work too. The intro and instrum-
ental parts are electric guitars, so... I tried;)
Have fun!  Let me know what ya think!

D                   A                          G
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
                                        D
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
             A                           G        
People would say, "They're the lucky ones"
D                 A                        G
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
                                            D
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
                           A                       G
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on


Bm                 G
Oh, a simple complication
          D               Asus4
Miscommunications lead to fall out
Em7
So many things that I wish you knew
G
So many walls up I can't break through


D                Asus4              Em7
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
              G       D
And we're not speaking
                 Asus4              Em7                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                  G                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                  G                                       
When it all broke down
        D                   A                  G                                                 
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now-  Next chapter

D                    A                       
How'd we end up this way?
                 G              
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
                       D
And trying to look busy
                      A               G
And you're doing your best to avoid me

D                         A                          G
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
                                            D
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
                  A                               G
But you held your pride like you should have held me


Bm                          G
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
           D                  Asus4
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
Em7
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
G                       -stop
I've never heard silence quite this loud


D                Asus4              Em7
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
              G       D
And we're not speaking
                 Asus4              Em7                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                  G                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                  G                                       
When it all broke down
        D                   A                  G                                                 
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

D -once                           G 
    This is looking like a contest
(G)                              
Of who can act like they care less
D                          A              G
But I liked it better when you were on my side
D                             G
The battle's in your hands now
(G)
But I would lay my armor down
   Bm              A                G
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight


Bm
So many things that you wish I knew
        A                   -stop     
But the story of us might be ending soon


D (2x *fast/stop)                                         
  Now I'm standing alone 
 Asus4 (2x *F/s)   G -once             G
      In a crowded room  and we're not speaking                    
        D        Asus4              Em7                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                  G                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                  G                                       
When it all broke down
        Bm                                                       
And the story of us 
        A                  G                D  Asus4
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, no-----ow
Em7              G       D
   And we're not speaking
                 Asus4              Em7                               
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                  G                 
Like it's killing me?
Bm                   A                    D                  
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                    G                                       
'Cause we're go-ing down
        D                   A                  G ...stop
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

The End.
