Long Story Short / The Story Of Us

[Intro] F


F        C
Fatefully
           Am                       G
I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
F      C
Misery
         Am             G
Like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
F       C
And you passed right by
Am                  G
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
F         C
The knife cuts both ways
       G
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break


F                   C
And I fell from the pedestal
               G
Right down the rabbit hole
           Am
Long story short, it was a bad time
F               C
Pushed from the precipices
             G
Clung to the nearest lips
           Am
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
F       C               G
Now I'm all about you
    Am        G        F
I'm all about you, ah
C           G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Am        G
I'm all about you, ah

C                   G                          F
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us

How we met and the sparks flew instantly
C             G                      F
People would say, "They're the lucky ones"
C                  G                       F
I used to know my place was a spot next to you

Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
C                          G                     F
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

G                 Am
Oh, a simple complication
          F                 C
Miscommunications lead to fall out
F
So many things that I wish you knew
G
So many walls that I can't break through
C                G                  F
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
                F
And we're not speaking
C                G                  F
And I'm dying to know is it killing you

Like it's killing me, yeah
Am                   G                    C
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                 F
When it all broke down
        Am                  G                  F
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

G  Am  F )

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

F      C
Past me
         Am                  G
I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
F         C
Your nemeses
        Am                   G
Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
F         C
And he's passing by
G                        Am       G
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
F       C
And he feels like home
G
If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go

C                 G
Now I'm standing alone
             F
In a crowded room and we're not speaking
C                G                  F
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                   F
Like it's killing me, yeah
Am                   G                     C
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                    F
‘Cause we’re going down
         Am
And the story of us
        G                  F        C      G
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

F
And we're not speaking
C                G                  F
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
                  F
Like it's killing me, yeah
Am                   G                     C
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
                   F
'Cause we're going down
        Am                  G                  F
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
