[G] [C]
[G] The story of [C] my life [G] is [C]
very plain [F] to read
[C]
It [F]
starts the day [G] you came [F]
and [Am] [G]
ends the day [C] you leave
[G]
The [C]
[G] story of [C] my life
[G] [C]
begins and [F] ends with you
The names are [Dm] still [G] the same [F]
and [G] the story's still [C] the truth
[G]
[C]
[Am] I was alone, you found me waiting and [G] made me your own
[Am] I was afraid that somehow I never [G] could be
The [F] man that you wanted [G] of me
[F]
[G] You're the story of [C] my life and every word is [F] true
Each chapter [Am] sings [G] your name, [F]

the [Dm] story [C] of our times [G]

If I died [G] today, [F]
[G]
I wanted you [C] to know
[G]
Stay [C]
[Am] with me here, share with me, care with me, [G] standing near
[Am] And when it began, I'd lie awake every [G]
night
Just [F]
knowing somewhere deep [G]
inside
[Dm] That [F] our affair just [G] might rise
[F] The [G]
story of my [C]
life, it's so very plain [F] to read
It starts the day [G] you came [F] and
[G]
ends the day [C] you leave
