Stories Don't End Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]From the paper umbrellas[Bm]
in [C#]both of our drink[G]s
To the [D]shadows [G]that walk [A]without [D]us
My account of the de[Bm]tails
is as [C#]clear as you'd think
[G]Kept up by fri[D]ends that sti[G]ll
ask [Asus4]about us[D]

[Verse 2]
If our [D]lives were a movie,
if our [Em]lives [G]were a book
It'd be [D]longer than I'd recommend
[G]'Cause if you're tel[D]ling a story,
at [F#]some point you stop
But [Bm]stories [F#m]don't [Em]end[Gm][G]
[D]

[Verse 3]
The remains of a per[Bm]son,
the [C#]habits [G]of a ghost
You could [D]still find in the
[G]places you [A]used [D]to
Still reading off cue [Bm]cards and [C#]raising a toast
[G]To the[D] stories I s[G]till tell
[Asus4]about you[D]

[Verse 4]
But the [Em]plot line wanders
and versions change
And I [Bm]don't know where [A]to [G]quit

[Verse 5]
If I tried to [D]show every side of you
through [G]word[Em]s of[G] a song
I'd say a [D]fraction of what I'd [G]intend
'Cause if [D]you're telling a story,
at [F#]some point you stop
But [Bm]stories [F#m]don't [Em]end[Gm][Em]

[Verse 6]
[A]The next time I see[D] you
and my con[G]science tells [A]me
That the episode has [D]long
since [G]been closed
[A]But he's not the [D]one
that gets [G]up every morning
[A]And wonders how long a m[D]emory
keeps its [G]pose[A]
And how much that the
[D]man beside you [G]knows
[A]And how much of the tol[D]l it's taken sho[G]ws

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D][Bm]
[C#][G][D][G][A][D][Bm][C#][G]
[D][G][A][Asus4][D]

[Verse 7]
Like a [Em]famous singer that lost his voice
That [Bm]we all still want to [F#m]meet[G]

[Verse 8]
If [D]our lives were a movie,
if [G]our lives were a book
It'd be [D]longer than I could defend
[G]'Cause if you're tel[D]ling a story,
at [F#]some point you stop
But [Bm]stories [F#m]don't [G]end
[Gm]Stor[G]ies [Bm]don'[F#m]t[Gm][G][F#][Bm][F#m]
[Em]end[Gm][A]
[Bm][F#m][A]

[Verse 9]
[Gm]
They go on [F#]and o[Bm]n[F#m][Gm]
Just someone stops [Bm]listening[F#m]
