Taylor Swift – The Story Of Us (Taylor’s Version)

|B     |C#m   E    |A     |A     |
|B     |C#m   E    |A     |A     |

|E                    |B                         |A                     |A          |
   I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us, how we met and the sparks flew
      |E                   |B                      |A   |A   |
instantly, and people would say, "they're the lucky ones”
|E                  |B                         |A                         |A                |
   I used to know my place was the spot next to you, now I'm searching the room for an empty
|E                                |B                    |A   |A   |
 seat, ’cause lately, I don't even know what page you're on

|B                 |C#m     E        |A              |E      |
 Oh, a simple complication, miscommunications lead to fallout
|A                    |A             |B                  |B                  |
 So many things that I wish you knew, so many walls up, I can't break through

|E                  |B                |A                  |A       |
   Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room, and we're not speaking
|E                 |B                  |A                    |A       |
   And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah
|C#m                   |B                     |E                     |A   |
   I don't know what to say since the twist of fate when it all broke down
       |C#m                |B                 |A   |A             |
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now,   next chapter

|B     |C#m   E    |A     |A     |

|E                     |B                     |A                        |A                  |
   How'd we end up this way? See me nervously, pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy
|E                      |B            |A   |A   |
   And you're doing your best to avoid me
|E                        |B                         |
 I’m starting to think one day I'll tell the story of
|A                      |A                  |
 us, how I was losing my mind when I saw you
|E                      |B                       |A      |A   |
 here, but you held your pride like you should've held me

|B                        |C#m     E            |A              |E       |
 Oh, I'm scared to see the ending, why are we pretending this is nothing?
   |A                         |A              |B                       |B              |
I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how, I’ve never heard silence quite this loud

|E                  |B                |A                  |A       |
   Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room, and we're not speaking
|E                 |B                  |A                    |A       |
   And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah
|C#m                   |B                     |E                     |A   |
   I don't know what to say since the twist of fate when it all broke down
       |C#m                |B                 |A   |A   |
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

|B     |C#m   E    |A     |A     |
|B     |C#m   E    |A     |A     |

|E                       |E      |A                         |A        |
   This is looking like a contest,  of who can act like they care less
   |C#m                   |B             |A   |A   |
But I liked it better when you were on my side
|E                     |E        |A                   |A         |
   The battle's in your hands now,  but I would lay my armor down
  |C#m           |B               |A    |A   |
If you said you'd rather love than fight
|A                  |A                       |B                   |B          |
 So many things that you wish I knew, but the story of us might be ending soon

|E                  |B                |A                  |A       |
   Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room, and we're not speaking
|E                 |B                  |A                    |A       |
   And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah
|C#m                   |B                     |E                     |A   |
   I don't know what to say since the twist of fate when it all broke down
       |C#m                |B                 |A        |A   |
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

|E   |B   |A              |A       |
             And we're not speaking
|E                 |B                  |A                    |A       |
   And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah
|C#m                   |B                     |E                      |A   |
   I don't know what to say since the twist of fate 'cause we're going down
       |C#m                |B                 |A   |A        |
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now,   the end
