The Story So Far

Standard Tuning
NOTES: I tried to tab out the lead parts as good as I could. I am about
80% positive that this is somewhat correct. The strumming pattern
isn’t shown… Ok, here it is…

song structure
intro
i can’t remember the time or place,
or what you were wearing,
it’s unclear about how we met,
all i know it was the best conversation that i’ve ever had,
verse
to this day i never found someone,
with eyes as wide as yours,
i’ve been searching up and down this coast,
overlooking what i need the most
pre-chorus
did you notice i was afraid?
i thought i’d run out of things to say,
two more hours until today burns this away,
and it starts all over again,
chorus – 2x
the sky will never look the same again,
till you show me how it could be,
the sky will never look the same again,
till you show me how it could be
post-chorus
and everything else is irrelevant,
to the story so far,
verse
a coincidence that you look like her from a far,
is it true that you like to sleep alone?
or is it what you just tell everyone?
pre-chorus
chorus – 2x
interlude
bridge
and when the world turns over
ill keep my ears to the wall
and when the world turns over
ill keep my feet straight on the ground
pre-chorus
chorus – 2x
outro
that’s about all of it. email me at [email protected]
