          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

       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

Fm
They go on and on

Fm
Just someone stops listening
