Stories We Could Tell
Words and Music by John B. Sebastian, 1974
[Intro]
D D D D
[Verse 1]
D
Talkin' to myself again
D A7
Wonderin' if this travellin' is good
A7
Is there somethin' else a' doin'
A7 D
We'd be doin' if we could
[Chorus]
G A D
But ah, the stories we could tell
G A D
And if it all blows up and goes to Hell
G A D G G/F# Em7
I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
D A D
Listen to the stories we could tell
[Verse 2]
D D
Stared at that guitar in that museum in Tennessee
D A7
Nameplate on the glass brought back twenty melodies
D G
Scars upon the face told of all the times he fell
D A7 D
Singin' all the stories he could tell
[Chorus]
G A D
Ah, the stories he could tell
G A D
And I'll bet you it still rings like a bell
G A D G G/F# Em7
I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
D A D
And listen to the stories it could tell
[Interlude]
G A D G

[Verse 3]
D D
So if you're on the road trackin' down your every night
D A7
Playin' for a livin' beneath brightly colored lights
D G
If you ever wonder why you ride the carousel
D A7 D
You do it for the stories you can tell
[Chorus]
G A D
Ah, the stories we could tell
G A D
And if it all blows up and goes to Hell
G A D G G/F# Em7
I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
D A D
Just listen to the stories we could tell
G A D G G/F# Em7
Yes, I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
D A G D D
And listen to the stories it could tell
