[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ Story, story night [Fm] Paint [Eb] _ _
your palette [Fm] blue and [Gm] grey
_ [Fm] _
[Eb] Look out on a [Ab] summer's [Bb] day With eyes that see the [Eb] darkness in my soul
[Fm] Shadows [Eb] on the hill _ _ _ Sketch the [Fm] trees and the daffodils _ _ _
Catch the [Eb] breeze and the winter chills [Bb] And colours on a [Eb] snowy little [Fm] land
_ [Eb] _ _ Now I [Fm]
understand _ [Bb] What _ you [Eb] tried to say to [Cm] me
How you suffered [F] for your sanity _ [Bb] How you tried to [Cm] set them free
_ _ _ They will not [F] listen, they do not know how _
[Ab] _ Perhaps [Eb] they'll listen [Fm] now
_ [Eb] _ _ Story, story night [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _
Flaming [Fm] flowers that brightly blaze _
_ _ Swirling [Eb] clouds and violet haze _ [Bb] Reflect convincing [Eb] sighs of china blue
_ [Fm] Colours [Eb] changing hue _ _ _ Morning fields [Fm] of amber grain _ _ _
[Eb] Weathered faces lined in pain [Bb] I soothe beneath the artist's [Eb] loving hand _
_ _ _ Now [Fm] I understand _ [Bb] What _ you [Eb] tried to say to me
[Cm]
How you suffered [Bb] for [Fm] your sanity [Bb] How you tried to [Cm] set them free
_ _ _ [C] They will not listen, [F] they do not know how _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] Perhaps they'll [Eb] listen now _
_ _ _ For they [Fm] could not love you [Bb] _ But still [Eb] your love is true
[Bb] _ _
[Cm] _ _ [F] And when no hope was left inside [Abm] On that story, story night
You took your [Eb] life as lovers [Cm] often do _ [Eb] I [Fm] could have told you Vincent
[Ab] This world was never meant [Bb] for As _ beautiful _ [Eb] as you
[Fm] _
Story, [Eb] _ _ _ _ _

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
story night _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Portraits hung in empty halls
_ _ _ Frameless [Eb] heads on nameless walls [Bb] With eyes that watched the world and [Eb] can't forget
[Fm] Like the strangers [Eb] that you met _ The _ ragged [Fm] men in ragged clothes _ _
A [Eb] silver thorn, a bloody rose [Bb] Light crushed and broken on the virgin [Eb] snow
_ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
Now I [Fm] think I know [Bb] What _ you [Eb] tried to say to me
[Cm] _ How you suffered [Fm] for your [F] sanity _ [Bb] How you tried to [Cm] set them free
They will not listen, [F] they do not know how Perhaps [Ab] _ _ [Bb]
they'll [Eb] never win
