tuning : standard capo ii

this is the title track off of “stories don’t end” ( 2013 )
it has a few interesting chord transitions to say the least .

C E Bm F
from the paper umbrellas in both of our drinks
C F G C
to the shadows that walk without us
C E Bm F
my account of the details is as clear as you’d think
C F G C
kept up by friends that still ask about us

C F
if our lives were a movie , if our lives were a book
C F
it’d be longer than i’d recommend
C E
’cause if you’re telling a story , at some point you stop
Am G F
but stories don’t end

C E Bm F
the remains of a person , the habits of a ghost
C F G C
you could still find in the places you used to
C E Bm F
still reading off cue cards and raising a toast
C F G C
to the stories i still tell about you

Dm
but the plot line wanders and versions change
Am F
and i don’t know where to quit

C F
if i tried to show every side of you through words of a song
C F
i’d say a fraction of what i’d intend
C E
’cause if you’re telling a story , at some point you stop
Am G F
but stories don’t end

G C F G
the next time i see you and my conscience tells me
G C F G
that the episode has long since been closed
G C F G
but he’s not the one that gets up every morning
G C F
and wonders how long a memory keeps its pose
G C F
and how much that the man beside you knows
G C F
and how much of the toll it’s taken shows

piano solo break :
{play verse chords over}

Dm
like a famous singer that lost his voice
Am F
that we all still want to meet

C F
if our lives were a movie , if our lives were a book
C F
it’d be longer than i could defend
C E
’cause if you’re telling a story , at some point you stop
Am G F
but stories don’t end
Am G F
stories don’t end
