The Story Is

     D                        G      D
You leave and the distance between us increases
D                      G          D
Like Patsy Cline, I am falling to pieces
D                     G    D
All crazy, fanatical, over-dramatic
D                          G              D
I can't live without it, I can't kick the habit


[Chorus]

Bm
The story is
    G     D
The story is
D                  G       D
I need a fix and I need it quick
Bm             G      D
The story is I can't resist
D                        G     D
Without this, you know I don't exist
D                                      G      D
Oh, the beginning, the middle, and the end is this


[Verse 2]

D                      G            D
My mind is decided, it won't let me fight it
D               G      D
Over excited to be reunited
D                     G             D
When all joy in me is destroyed and defeated
D                          G          D
One shot from you and I've got what I needed


[Chorus]

Bm
The story is
    G     D
The story is
D                  G       D
I need a fix and I need it quick
Bm             G      D
The story is I can't resist
D                        G     D
Without this, you know I don't exist
D                                      G      D
Oh, the beginning, the middle, and the end is this


[Bridge]

D          G        D         A
From this world you save me
   G          D        A
Up higher you take me
         G                                      D    A
Like some power ballad that they wrote in the 1980s
Bm
You lift me
A
You lift me


[Chorus]

Bm
The story is
    G     D
The story is
D                  G       D
I need a fix and I need it quick
Bm             G        D
The story is I can't resist
D                        G     D
Without this, you know I don't exist
                                       G      D
Oh, the beginning, the middle, and the end is this
                                       G      D
Oh, the beginning, the middle, and the end is this
                                        G      D
Mmm, the beginning, the middle, and the end is this
