VERSE 1

    Bm (x24432@1)                     C9Now (x3233x@1)how many days in a year
    G (320003@1)          
She woke up with hope
             DBut (xx0232@1)she only found tears
    Bm (x24432@1)                   C9And (x3233x@1)I can be so insincere
G (320003@1)                 D (xx0232@1)

   Bm (x24432@1)                              C9As (x3233x@1)long as she stands there waiting
G (320003@1)                            DWearing (xx0232@1)the holes in the soles of her shoes
Bm (x24432@1)                         C9Now (x3233x@1)how many days disappear
         GWhen (320003@1)you look in the mirror
   DSo (xx0232@1)how do you choose



BRIDGE

     Em7                   D/F# (200232@1)   
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
         G (320003@1)                 A7sus4And (002033@1)your hair never falls in quite the same way
Em7               D/F# (200232@1)                    A7sus4You (002033@1)never seem to run out of things to say



CHORUS

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles



VERSE 2

Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this s**t 
Day after day
How did we wind up this way
Watchin' the mouths for the words I would say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
How do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of the shoes



BRIDGE

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say



CHORUS

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
