Maroon 5 - Story
Tabbed by: John Francis Palac
NO CAPO
[Verse 1]
 C                    G
Do you mean all the things you are?
 Am                       G
Are you pleased with the way things are?
 C                     G
Wear that dress to protect this scar
 Em                 F
That only I have seen
[Verse 2]
 C                      G
Do you give just to please yourself?
 Am                     G
Do you wish you were somewhere else?
 C                    G
Justified all the things you tried
 Em                  F
Said that it was all for me
[Chorus]
F
And be near
F
Just for the moment
F
Stay here
F
Never go home
         C             Em               F           G
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you?
        C          Em               F             G
So it goes, the story of a broken heart comes true
         C
It comes true
[Verse 3]
 C                         G
Have you learned all the secrets yet?
 Am                         G
Will you burn by the things I've said?
 C                      G
Took the dive just to feel alive
  Em                 F
But never heard the truth
 C                       G
Now I'm in love but I don't know how
 Am                    G
I'm in pain cause I want it now
 C                      G
As I sit watching her eyes close
 Em            F
I slowly open mine
[Chorus]
F
And be near
F
Just for the moment
F
Stay here
F
Never go home
         C             Em               F           G
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you?
        C          Em               F             G
So it goes, the story of a broken heart comes true
         C
It comes true
[Verse 4]
 C                 G
I am so confused by this
 Bb                   F
I know that life is hit or miss
 C                    G
Days are stung by too much sun
 Bb                    F
I think that you may be the one
[Verse 5]
 C               G
Cover yourself up in me
 Bb                  F
Shrouded in what could have been
 C                 G
I will listen to your pain
 Bb              F
If you listen to me
[Verse 6]
          C            Em              F          G
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you
        C            Em                F           G
So it goes, as the story of a broken heart comes true
        C             Em               F           G
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you
       C            Em               F           G
And I know, the story of a broken heart comes True
 C      Em
Come true
 F    G
True
 C        Em
It comes true
 F      G
True
