CHORUS:
This is the [Cadd9]story of a girl  [G]
Who cried a river and [Asus4]drowned the whole world  [D]
And while she [Bm]looks so sad in [Cadd9]photographs 
I [Asus4]absolutely love her 
When she smiles 

INSTRUMENTAL #1:  [G]  [D]  [Cadd9]  [Cadd9]  (x2)

[Bm]How many days in a [Cadd9]year 
She [G]woke up with hope but she [D]only found tears 
And [Bm]I can be so in[Cadd9]sincere 
[G]Making the promises [D]never for real 
As [Bm]long as she stands there [Cadd9]waiting 
[G]Wearin' the holes in the [D]soles of her shoes 
[Bm]How many days disap[Cadd9]pear 
You [G]look in the mirror, so [D]how do you choose 

PRE-CHORUS:
Your [Em7]clothes never wear as [Dsus4/F#]well the next day 
And your [G]hair never falls in [Asus4]quite the same way 
You [Em7]never seem to [Dsus4/F#]run out of things to [Asus4]say 

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

[Bm]How many lovers would [Cadd9]stay
Just to [G]put up with this shit [D]day after day
[Bm]How did we wind up this [Cadd9]way
[G]Watching our mouths for the words [D]that we say
As [Bm]long as we stand here [Cadd9]waiting
[G]Wearing the clothes of the [D]souls that we choose
[Bm]How do we get there to[Cadd9]day
When we're [G]walking too far for the [D]price of our shoes
