This is the story of a girl

VERSE 1
Bm C9
Now how many days in a year
G
She woke up with hope
D
But she only found tears
Bm C9
And I can be so insincere
G D
Making her promises never for real
Bm C9
As long as she stands there waiting
G D
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Bm C9
Now how many days disappear
G
When you look in the mirror
D
So how do you choose
BRIDGE
Em7 D/F#
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
G A7sus4
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
Em7 D/F# A7sus4
You never seem to run out of things to say
CHORUS
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
VERSE 2
Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this s**t
Day after day
How did we wind up this way
Watchin' the mouths for the words I would say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
How do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of the shoes
BRIDGE
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
But you never seem to run out of things to say
CHORUS
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

BRIDGE
While your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cied a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her...
CHORUS
This is a story of a girl
Her pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her...
CHORUS
This is the story of a-- girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smiles!
