Intro:  C  G7,  C   G7 

 C    G7  G  G7  C     G7      C    G        F         C 
The story of my life,      is very plain to read; 
     F                 G7    G    Dm7           G       G7     C   G7 
It starts the day you came,       and ends the day you leave. 

C     G7  G  G7  C     G7    C         Cmaj7       F     C 
The story of my life,       begins and ends with you; 
     F         G7        G     Dm7          G       G7        C       G7 
The names are still the same,      and the story's still the truth. 

    Am                                     G 
And I was alone, you found me waiting, and made me your own;  
  Am                  F                 G       F6           F         G7 Dm7 
I was afraid that somehow I never could be, the man that you wanted of me. 

 C          G7   G  G7  C    G7       C    G       F       C 
You re the story of my life,     and every word is true; 
      F       G7        G     Dm7       G     G7          C        G7 
Each chapter sings your name,      each page begins with you. 


C         G7   G   G7  C      G7      C      Cmaj7   F       C 
It s the story of our times,      and never letting go; 
    F    G7   G     Dm7     G     G7      C        G7 
And if I die today,      I wanted you to know. 

Am            Em    G              F                C 
Stay with me here, share with me, care with me; 
C            Am        F       G7 
Stay and be near, and when it began. 
C        G7          C      G7        C          Cmaj7   F      C 
I d lie awake every night,      just knowing somewhere deep inside; 
      F                     G       Dm7        
That our affair just might write  

     G7   G  G7  C    G7     C        G        F       C 
The story of my life,     Is so very plain to read; 
     F        G7      G     Dm7        G       G7   F     C    G  G7  F  C 
It starts the day you came;    and it ends the day, you, leave.
