The Story So Far – Ali (Guitar)

E
So this is what I get for trying to be nice

E                         C#m
These blank walls make me sick

     A
Like excuses made up quick

         E            C#m      A
I'd move forward if I only could

            E         C#m      A
I'd like to thank you for this effort

                  E         C#m     A
It left me barely breathing on this stretcher

A C#m      B                      A    C#m                    
     We'll work things out in the end

     B                      A   
But we'll still be far from friends

              C#m                 B
Take my hand, run it through your hair again

A                                  C#m  B
I'll just pretend you're someone else

A
It's what I always did

    C#m E                    B   E  F#m
I'm not gonna force it if it doesn't fit

A                                 B
I'm not supposed to feel like this

A                                                    
But the weight of the world is just too strong for me

C#m   E       B      E   F#m    A
And I think I might just run away

A
Back to your door

A              B
Empty days and lonely nights

          C#m
Provide a blueprint for the things I write

        A              B
So when people ask me, I know just what to say

E
The thought of you helps me wake up every day

A           B
And I don't believe in fate (IN FATE)

C#m
The only fate is the fate you make (YOU MAKE)

A               B                 E  
So I'll keep my nose to the grindstone

A                     B      
Cause that's all that I can do

     C#m
I've got good friends that help me too

A             B                E
And someday I will get back to you

       C#m                    B                  
On the back of my hand is the number she wrote

     A
I'll call her when my whole world goes up in smoke

  C#m                       B            
Until then I'll wonder what could have been

      A  
Cause everything works itself out in the end
