[Chorus]
 
            Csus2           G5
This is the story of a girl
                      A7sus4                  D
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
               Bm              Csus2
And while she looks so sad in photographs
   A7sus4
I absolutely love her
          G5       D Csus2 G5 D Csus2
When she smiles
 
 
[Verse]
 
Bm                  Csus2
How many days in a year
    G5                          D
She woke up with hope but she only found tears
   Bm               Csus2
And I can be so insincere
G5                      D
Making the promises never for real
   Bm                          Csus2
As long as she stands there waiting
 G5                           D
Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes
Bm               Csus2
How many days disappear
     G5                        D
You look in the mirror, so how do you choose
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
       Em7                 Dadd4/F#
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
          G5                  A7sus4
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
Em7              Dadd4/F#             A7sus4
You never seem to run out of things to say
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Csus2            G5
This is the story of a girl
                        A7sus4                 D
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
                Bm               Csus2
And while she looks so sad in photographs
    A7sus4
I absolutely love her
           G5       D Csus2 G5 D Csus2
When she smiles
 
 
[Verse]
 
Bm                     Csus2
How many lovers would stay
        G5                      D
Just to put up with this shit day after day
Bm                         Csus2
How did we wind up this way
G5                                D
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
    Bm                      Csus2
As long as we stand here waiting
 G5                                D
Wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
Bm                    Csus2
How do we get there today
             G5                            D
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
       Em7                 Dadd4/F#
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
          G5                 A7sus4
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
    Em7              Dadd4/F#             A7sus4
But you never seem to run out of things to say
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Csus2           G5
This is the story of a girl
                      A7sus4                  D
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
               Bm                  Csus2
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
   A7sus4
I absolutely love her
 
When she smiles

And your hair never falls in quite the same way
    Em7              Dadd4/F#              A7sus4
But you never seem to run out of things to say

I absolutely love her
 
            Csus2           G5
This is the story of a girl
                  A7sus4                  D
Her pretty face she hid from the world
               Bm                  Csus2
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
   A7sus4
I absolutely love her

When she smiles
D   Csus2    G5       D Csus2 G5
When she smiles...

Great Tab! It's pretty much perfect. No timing issues to speak of. Chords sound great! It would be nice if You could put the chords on top of the tab, because I'm forgetful so it sucks for me to keep reffering to the bottom. Still, 5/5
