_ [G] _ _ _ _ The story of [C] my life _ [G] is _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ It starts the day [G] you came _ _ [F]
and _ _ [G] _ _ _ _

[G] The story of [C] my life _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
begins and [F] ends with you. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The names are [Dm] still [G] the same _ [F]
and _ _ [G] _ _ _ the story's still [C] the truth.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] I was alone, _ _ _ you found me waiting and [G] made me your own.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] I was afraid _ that somehow I never [G] could be _ _ _
the [F] man that you wanted [G] of me.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ You're the story of [C] my life _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ every word is [F] true. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Each chapter sings [G] your name, _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ each page [C] begins with you.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ It's [G] the story [C] of our _ times, [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
never letting [F] go. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
If I died [G] today, _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ I _ wanted you [C] to know.
_ [G] _
Stay _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ with me here, _ _ _ share with me, care with me,
[G] _ standing near, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] and when it _ began, _ _
I'd lie _ awake every [G]
night, _ _ _ _ just [F] _
knowing somewhere deep [G] _
inside
_ _ _ [Dm] that [F] our affair _ just [G] might rise.
_ [F] _ The _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ story of my [C]
life, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ it's so very plain [F] to read. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It starts the day [G] you came _ _ [F] and _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
ends the day [C] you leave. _
