Story Of A Heart(Chords)

	        
verse 1 

C 
It must have been him 

                    Em 
Just a glimpse of a face in the crowd 

F 
That's all it takes 

            Dm 
My heart is racing 

C 
I stand in a trance 

                  Em 
As I stare at the back of a bus 

F                      Dm 
Knowing there's no use denying 

F                           G 
I can't stop thinking 'bout us 



     C 
The story of a heart  A story, all of it mine 

G 
Then you took it from me, every glorious line 

Am 
I was safe and warm and now I'm out in the cold 

G             F             C        G 
And I know I shouldn't have told my story 

C 
Story of a heart, I laid myself open wide 

G 
Let you read the pages where the ink hadn't dried 

G           F          C         G 
All emotion pent up inside, my story 


verse 2 
I try to resist 
But the images keep coming through 
So many years 
Still I'm defenceless 
The house by the lake 
His hands resting awhile on the oars 
Speaking with quiet conviction 
Carefully unlocking doors 

Repeat Chorus 

Em 
Did he see me 

                F 
Or did I just imagine it all 

Dm 
Putting a face on a stranger 

F             Am            C          G 
A face I find more and more hard to recall 

Same chords as Chorus 
Never given up, I look for you everywhere 
Time went by and sadness took the place of despair 
In a way you'll stay with me 'til death do us part 
Like a shadow deep in my heart forever 

Repeat Chorus 
Story of a heart, I laid myself open wide 
Let you read the pages where the ink hadn't dried 
Swept away and lost in love what was I to do 
I just had to give it to you, my story 

Chorus continues
