Hi! I love this song and it's so fun to play! A regular
'A' can be used for the A4 but I think they're easier and
it sounds just as good. Have fun!
*Thanks to jvizzle4shizzle for the suggestion- change D to Bm
on "story" (last line of the chorus) :)

D[xx0232]
A [x02220] **Update**
Asus4 [x02230] Rather than regular D's in the
G [3x0033] intro and the solos, I think
Bm [x04432] D2's sound more accurate.

[Verse 1]
DI used to think one Aday we'd tell the story of Gus
How we met and the sparks flew instantlyD  
People would Asay, "They're the lucky onesG"
DI used to know my Aplace was a spot next to Gyou
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seatD  
'Cause lately I don't even Aknow what page you're onG  
[Pre-Chorus]
AOh, a simple compliBmcation
MiscommuniGcations lead to Dfall out
GSo many things that I wish you knew
ASo many walls that I can't break through
[Chorus]
DNow I'm standing Asus4alone in a crowded Groom
And we're not speakingD  
And I'm dying to Asus4know is it killing Gyou
(G)
Like it's killing me?
BmI don't know what to Asay since a twist of Dfate
When it all broke Gdown

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now - Next chapter
A Bm Dsus2 G
[Verse 2]
DHow'd we end up this Away?
See me nervously Gpulling at my clothes
And trying to look busyD  
And you're doing your Abest to avoid meG  
DI'm starting to think one Aday I'll tell the story of Gus
How I was losing my mind when I saw you hereD  
But you held your Apride like you should have held Gme
[Pre-Chorus]
AOh, we're scared to see the Bmending
Why are we Gpretending this is Dnothing?
GI'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
AN.C.
I've never heard silence quite this loud
[Chorus]

This is looking like a contest
(G)
Of who can act like they care less
BmBut I liked it better when yAou were on my sGide
DThe battle's in your hands nowG  
(G)
But I would lay my armor down
If Bmyou'd say you'd Arather love than Gfight
[Pre-Chorus]
GSo many things that you wish I knew
AN.C.
But the story of us might be ending soon
[Chorus]
