The Story of Us Taylor Swift
Chords: E B c#m A
or you can put a capo on the second fret and play D A Bm (or Em, which is easier) G
Verse 1:
E B c#m
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and th[A]e sparks flew instantly
E B c#m A
And People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
E B c#m
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the r[A]oom for an empty seat
E B c#m A
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
c#m A
Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunic[E]ations lead to fa[B]ll-out
c#m
So many things that I wish you knew
[A]So many walls that I can't break through
Chorus:
[E]Now I'm standing al[B]one
c#m
In a crowded room
And we're not sp[A]eaking
[E]And I'm dying to kn[B]ow
c#m
Is it killing you
Like it's killing m[A]e? and
[E]I don't know what to s[B]ay
c#m
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke d[A]own
c#m
And the story of us
Looks a l[A]ot like a tragedy n[B]ow

Verse 2:
[E]How'd we end up this wa[B]y?
c#m
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And tr[A]ying to look busy
E B c#m A
And you're doing your best to avoid me
E B c#m
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mi[A]nd when I saw you here
E B c#m A
But you held your pride like you should have held me
c#m A
Oh, I’m scared to see the ending
Why are we prete[E]nding this is n[B]othing?
c#m
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
[A]I've never heard silence quite this loud
[E]Now I'm standing al[B]one
c#m
In a crowded room
And we're not s[A]peaking
[E]And I'm dying to kn[B]ow
c#m
Is it killing you
Like it's killing m[A]e? and
[E]I don't know what to s[B]ay
c#m
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke d[A]own
c#m
And the story of us
Looks a l[A]ot like a tragedy n[B]ow
Bridge:
c#m
This is looking like a contest
[A]Of who can act like they care less
B c#m A
But I liked it better when you were on my side
[E]The battle's in your hands now
[B]But I would lay my armor down
c#m A
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
c#m
So many things that you wish I knew
But the st[A]ory of us might be ending soon
Chorus:
[E]Now I'm standing al[B]one
c#m
In a crowded room
And we're not spe[A]aking
[E]And I'm dying to k[B]now
c#m
Is it killing you
Like it's killing [A]me? and
[E]I don't know what to s[B]ay
c#m
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke d[A]own
c#m
And the story of us
A B E B c#m
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now
[A]And we’re not speaking
[E]And I'm dying to kn[B]ow
c#m
Is it killing you
Like it's killing m[A]e? and
[E]I don't know what to s[B]ay
c#m
Since a twist of fate
‘cause we’re going d[A]own
c#m
And the story of us
Looks a l[A]ot like a tragedy n[B]ow
