                     C             E                 Bm                     F 
From the paper umbrellas in both of our drinks
               C                       F               G     C 
To the shadows that walk without us
         C                           E                         Bm                       F 
My account of the details is as clear as you'd think
                 C                             F                   G       C 
Kept up by friends that still ask about us
               C                                                   F 
If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book
                   C                                   F 
It'd be longer than I'd recommend
                                   C                                       E 
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
         Am           G         F 
But stories don't end
             C                   E                       Bm                 F 
The remains of a person, the habits of a ghost
                     C                                 F                   G       C 
You could still find in the places you used to
                   C                         E                 Bm             F 
Still reading off cue cards and raising a toast
             C                   F                   G         C 
To the stories I still tell about you
                 Dm 
But the plot line wanders and versions change
             Am                                     F 
And I don't know where to quit
                               C                                                           F 
If I tried to show every side of you through words of a song
                     C                                       F 
I'd say a fraction of what I'd intend
                                   C                                         E 
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
         Am           G         F 
But stories don't end
 G                               C                           F                             G 
The next time I see you and my conscience tells me
                   G                       C                               F         G 
That the episode has long since been closed
         G                         C                               F               G 
But he's not the one that gets up every morning
                           G                 C                               F 
And wonders how long a memory keeps its pose
         G                                 C                           F 
And how much that the man beside you knows
         G                             C                               F 
And how much of the toll it's taken shows
{Play verse chords over}
               Dm 
Like a famous singer that lost his voice
               Am                                 F 
That we all still want to meet
                 C                                                   F 
If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book
                 C                                         F 
It'd be longer than I could defend
                                   C                                     E 
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
         Am           G         F 
But stories don't end
 Am             G       F 
Stories don't end

 Fm 
They go on and on

 Fm 
Just someone stops listening
