   Bm                                                   D    
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
   Bm                                                     D
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
    Bm                                 G                           D
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

Prechorus:
            G     A     Bm
And I'll be gone gone tonight
                      G        A    Bm
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
                     G      A       Bm
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
                   A  
With nothing in between

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

Verse 2:
   Bm                                                D
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
 Bm                                                 D   
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
  Bm
I know that in the morning
      G                             D
I'll see us in the light upon your ear
   Bm                     G                 D
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed still

And I'll be gone gone tonight
                     G        A      Bm
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
                     G      A       Bm
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
                   A  
With nothing in between

And I been waiting for this time to come around

But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
