Taylor Swift - The Story Of Us

hi! i love this song and it’s so fun to play! a regular
’a’ can be used for the A4 but , i think the Em7 really needs
the ’b’ string down and it’s so much easier to go from the A4
to that em7! or . . . get rid of the A4 & Em7 altogether , use A
’g’ in the em7’s place and the asus4’s become a regular ’a’ .
i think that would probably work too . the intro and instrum –
ental parts are electric guitars , so . . . i tried; )
have fun! let me know what ya think!

* * * please rate * * *
thanks : )

D A G
i used to think one day we’d tell the story of us
D
how we met and the sparks flew instantly
A G
people would say , “they’re the lucky ones”
D A G
i used to know my place was a spot next to you
D
now i’m searching the room for an empty seat
A G
’cause lately i don’t even know what page you’re on

Bm G
oh , a simple complication
D Asus4
miscommunications lead to fall out
Em7
so many things that i wish you knew
G
so many walls up i can’t break through

D Asus4 Em7
now i’m standing alone in a crowded room
G D
and we’re not speaking
Asus4 Em7
and i’m dying to know is it killing you
G
like it’s killing me?
Bm A D
i don’t know what to say since a twist of fate
G
when it all broke down
D A G
and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now – next chapter

D Asus4 Em7 G

D A
how’d we end up this way?
G
see me nervously pulling at my clothes
D
and trying to look busy
A G
and you’re doing your best to avoid me

D A G
i’m starting to think one day i’ll tell the story of us
D
how i was losing my mind when i saw you here
A G
but you held your pride like you should have held me

Bm G
oh , we’re scared to see the ending
D Asus4
why are we pretending this is nothing?
Em7
i’d tell you i miss you but i don’t know how
G – stop
i’ve never heard silence quite this loud

D Asus4 Em7
now i’m standing alone in a crowded room
G D
and we’re not speaking
Asus4 Em7
and i’m dying to know is it killing you
G
like it’s killing me?
Bm A D
i don’t know what to say since a twist of fate
G
when it all broke down
D A G
and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

D Asus4 Em7 G
D Asus4 Em7 G

D – once G
this is looking like a contest
( G )
of who can act like they care less
D A G
but i liked it better when you were on my side
D G
the battle’s in your hands now
( G )
but i would lay my armor down
Bm A G
if you’d say you’d rather love than fight

Bm
so many things that you wish i knew
A – stop
but the story of us might be ending soon

D ( 2x * fast/stop )
now i’m standing alone
Asus4 ( 2x * F/s ) G – once G
in a crowded room and we’re not speaking
D Asus4 Em7
and i’m dying to know is it killing you
G
like it’s killing me?
Bm A D
i don’t know what to say since a twist of fate
G
when it all broke down
Bm
and the story of us
A G D Asus4
looks a lot like a tragedy now , now , no – – – – – ow
Em7 G D
and we’re not speaking
Asus4 Em7
and i’m dying to know is it killing you
G
like it’s killing me?
Bm A D
i don’t know what to say since a twist of fate
G
’cause we’re go – ing down
D A G . . . stop
and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
