Intro: C  F     

            C     
There’s the one that brought us both together     
        F     
And the one made me fall in love     
         C     
And the one that should have never hurt     
        F     
And the one we screamed to the top of our lungs     
     C     
The one that let me dream the future     
     F     
The one that came as a surprise     
        C     
And the one that kept me hanging on     
                  F     
When I swore you’d never call that night     
     
F                              C     
Maybe they’re songs, maybe they’re prayers     
       G                          F     
Maybe everything we can’t say is there     
                                 G     
Maybe everything we can’t say is there     
     
              C                            F     
These are the words I wanna write my story from, oh     
              Am                             G     
These are the rhythms I want my heart beat to drum, forever     
               Am      
Pouring out of me every night     
              F                   
It’s either a song book of where we start     
                    G                   C      
Or the journey in a journal of a broken heart     
     
            C     
There’s the one that left me barely breathing     
     F     
Your voice glowed on a better girl     
         C     
And the one that shook me with the feeling I’d never ever measure up to her     
F                              C     
Maybe they’re songs, maybe they’re prayers     
       G                          F     
Maybe everything we can’t say is there     
                                 G     
Maybe everything we can’t say is there     
     
              C                            F     
These are the words I wanna write my story from, oh     
              Am                             G     
These are the rhythms I want my heart beat to drum, forever     
               Am      
Pouring out of me every night     
              F                   
It’s either a song book of where we start     
                    G                   C         Am

Journal of a broken heart     
                   G     
Tell me the truth, I’ll listen     
F                          C     
Whether this is history or works of fiction     
     
              C                            F     
These are the words I wanna write my story from, oh     
              Am                             G     
These are the rhythms I want my heart beat to match, forever
