Chorus
This is the [Csus2]story of a girl[G5]
Who cried a river and [A7sus4]drowned the whole world[D]
While she [Bm]looks so sad in [Csus2]photographs
I [A7sus4]absolutely love her
When she [G5][G5][D][Csus2]smiles[Csus2][D][G5]
Verse
[Bm]How many days in the year[Csus2]
She [G5]woke up with hope but she only[D] found tears
And[Bm] I can be so incincere[Csus2]
[G5]Making her promises [D]never for real
As [Bm]long as she stands there [Csus2]waiting
[G5]Wearing the holes in the soles [D]of her shoes
[Bm]How many days disappear [Csus2]
When you [G5]look in the mirror so how [D]do you choose
Bridge
Your [Em7]clothes never wear as [Dadd4/F#]well the next day
Your [G5]hair never falls in [A7sus4]quite the same way
But [Em7]you never seem to[Dadd4/F#] run out of things to[A7sus4] say
Verse 2
[Bm]How many lovers would stay[Csus2]
Just to [G5]put up with this every [D]day and all day
[Bm]How did we wind up this way[Csus2]
[G5]Watching our mouths for the words[D] that we say
As [Bm]long as we stand here waiting[Csus2]
[G5]Wearing the clothes of the souls [D]that we choose
[Bm]How do we get there today[Csus2]
When we\'re [G5]walking too far for the price[D] of our shoes
