verse 1
C
It must have been him
Em
Just a glimpse of a face in the crowd
F
That's all it takes
Dm
My heart is racing
C
I stand in a trance
Em
As I stare at the back of a bus
F Dm
Knowing there's no use denying
F G
I can't stop thinking 'bout us
C
The story of a heart A story, all of it mine
G
Then you took it from me, every glorious line
Am
I was safe and warm and now I'm out in the cold
G F C G
And I know I shouldn't have told my story
C
Story of a heart, I laid myself open wide
G
Let you read the pages where the ink hadn't dried
G F C G
All emotion pent up inside, my story
verse 2
I try to resist
But the images keep coming through
So many years
Still I'm defenceless
The house by the lake
His hands resting awhile on the oars
Speaking with quiet conviction
Carefully unlocking doors
Repeat Chorus
Em
Did he see me
F
Or did I just imagine it all
Dm
Putting a face on a stranger
F Am C G
A face I find more and more hard to recall
Same chords as Chorus
Never given up, I look for you everywhere
Time went by and sadness took the place of despair
In a way you'll stay with me 'til death do us part
Like a shadow deep in my heart forever
Repeat Chorus
Story of a heart, I laid myself open wide
Let you read the pages where the ink hadn't dried
Swept away and lost in love what was I to do
I just had to give it to you, my story
Chorus continues
