A           Em           D                     Dm/B                      
  Rescue me,   before my   dreams have flown a-    way

A            Em        D                 Dm/B                          
  Rescue me,   take me   back with you a-    gain

A                            Dm/B                                
  The lonely hours I wait for    dawn's caress I can't forget,

A                          Dm/B*                                 
  the silence of the lonely-   ness

A         Em             D                Dm/B                           
  Destiny,   I wrote the   book about the     game

A         Em          D                         Dm/B                     
  Destiny,   now I've   learned how to take the     pain

A                         Dm/B                                   
  Try as I may I can't ex-    plain the way I'm feeling now

A                         Dm/B*                                   
  Try as I may I can't ex-     plain

    E         C#m                      D                             
And   now I'm    walking right back to   you

    E       C#m                    D      E                            
And   all a-   long I never really   kne-   ew

               C#m                                            
That there was    heartbreak ahead

    Em/G             F#       Bm                                      
And     everyone but   I could   see

           Dm/B         A                                         
That's the     story of   me

A                 Em            D                  Dm/B                
 Don't look back,   to think a-   bout the things we   did

A                 Em                  D                  Dm/B           
 Don't look back,   to pretend that's   how it might have    been

A                              Dm/B                               
  I'm walking homeward thru the    shadows of the night again

A                        Dm/B*                                     
  So now the story can be     told,

    E         C#m                      D                             
And   now I'm    walking right back to   you

     E      C#m                    D      E                            
And   all a-   long I never really   kne-   ew

               C#m                                            
That there was    sorrow to come 

    Em/G                      F#      Bm                                
And      I thought there'd be   ecsta-   sy

           Dm/B         A                                         
That's the     story of   me

    E         C#m                      D                             
And   now I'm    walking right back to   you

     E       C#m                    D      E                            
And   all a-    long I never really   kne-   ew

             C#m                                              
That it's so    easy to see 

Em/G                F#         Bm                                      
    that's how it's    meant to   be

           Dm/B        A                                          
That's the    story of   me

Em          D                                                   
   Story of   me,

Dm/B                     A    A                                      
     That's the story of   me   //
