The Story Of Us by Taylor Swift

Chords: E B C#m A
or you can put a capo on the second fret and play D A Bm (or Em, which is easier) G

Verse 1:
E		         B			C#m			
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
 		 A
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
E		       B		  C#m	A
And People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
E		         B		   C#m
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
		       A
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
E		            B			C#m	A
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
C#m 		    A
Oh, a simple complication
           E		    B
Miscommunications lead to fall-out
C#m
So many things that I wish you knew
A
So many walls that I can't break through

Chorus:
E		   B
Now I'm standing alone
 	      C#m
In a crowded room
 	        A
And we're not speaking
E		   B
And I'm dying to know
                C#m
Is it killing you
                   A
Like it's killing me? and
E		      B
I don't know what to say
 	         C#m
Since a twist of fate
 	           A
When it all broke down
C#m
And the story of us
         A		    B
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Verse 2:
E		       B
How'd we end up this way?
 	          C#m
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
      A
And trying to look busy
E		       B	    C#m	 A
And you're doing your best to avoid me
E			   B			     C#m
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
 		      A
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
E		    B				C#m	A
But you held your pride like you should have held me
C#m 		          A
Oh, I’m scared to see the ending
           	E	       B
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
C#m
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
A
I've never heard silence quite this loud

E		   B
Now I'm standing alone
 	      C#m
In a crowded room
 	       A
And we're not speaking
E		   B
And I'm dying to know
              C#m
Is it killing you
                   A
Like it's killing me? and
E		      B
I don't know what to say
 	          C#m
Since a twist of fate
 	           A
When it all broke down
C#m
And the story of us
         A		    B
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Bridge:
C#m
This is looking like a contest
A
Of who can act like they care less
    B			   C#m		   A
But I liked it better when you were on my side
E
The battle's in your hands now
B
But I would lay my armor down
   C#m 				      A
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
C#m
So many things that you wish I knew
	  A
But the story of us might be ending soon

Chorus:
E		   B
Now I'm standing alone
 	      C#m
In a crowded room
 	         A
And we're not speaking
E		  B
And I'm dying to know
              C#m
Is it killing you
                  A
Like it's killing me? and
E		      B
I don't know what to say
 	         C#m
Since a twist of fate
 	           A
When it all broke down
C#m
And the story of us
         A		    B		E	B 	C#m
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now
A
And we’re not speaking
E		   B
And I'm dying to know
              C#m
Is it killing you
                   A
Like it's killing me? and
E		      B
I don't know what to say
 	         C#m
Since a twist of fate
 	            A
‘cause we’re going down
        C#m
And the story of us
         A		    B
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
