The story of my life 
 
 
[Verse 1]
G             C                D
High School seemed like such a blur
  G                C           D
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections
       G       C           D
And in class I dreamed all day 'bout a rock & roll
G                   C      D
weekend.
 
 
[Verse 2]
        G           C            D
And the girl in the front of the room
   G            C                D
So close yet so far you know she never seemed to notice
          G               C         D
That this silly schoolboy crush wasn't just pretend
G    C    D
Ahhh ahh  ah-ahhh
 
 
[Chorus]
G         C     D
Life goes by so fast
    G          C                   D
you only wanna do whatcha think is right.
G           C            D
Close your eyes and its past.
            G            C          D
Story of my liiiiiiiiiife.
            G            C          D
Story of my life
            G            C          D

Story of my life 
 
 
[Verse 3]
       G                C           D
Well I went down to the old neighborhood
    G             C                      D
the faces had all changed there's no one there left to talk to
        G           C          D
and the pool hall I loved as a kid
           G      C             D
is now a 7/11.
 
 
[Verse 4]
       G                C          D
Well I went downtown to look for a job
  G      C             D
I had no training no experience to speak of
      G             C           D
and I looked at the holes in my jeans and turned and headed
G                C          D
back.
 
 
[Chorus]
G         C     D
Life goes by so fast
    G          C                   D
you only wanna do whatcha think is right.
G           C            D
Close your eyes and its past.
            G            C          D

            G            C          D

            G            C          D

[Solo]
G   C  D x12
 
 
[Verse 5]
G                  C          D
Good time come and good times go.
  G             C                D
I only wish the good times would last a little longer.
      G               C             D
And I think about the good times we had
                    G                  C          D
and why they had to end...........
 
 
[Verse 6]
     G          C          D
So I sit at the edge of my bed
  G           C         D
I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song.
G              C                 D
Thinking about what you're doing now
                     G                  C          D
and when your coming back.
 
 
[Chorus]
G         C     D
Life goes by so fast
    G          C                   D
you only wanna do whatcha think is right.
G           C            D
Close your eyes and its past.
            G            C          D
Story of my liiiiiiiiiife.
 
 
[Outro]
G    C       D
La   la   la la la
G    C       D
La   la   la la 
G    C       D
La   la   la la la
                G    C       D
The story of my life 
                G    C       D
The story of my life 
                G    C       D
The story of my life 
                G    C       D

You're missing half of the first verse, after rock 'n roll weekend it goes: And the girl in the front of the room So close yet so far y'know she never seemed to notice That this silly schoolboy crush Wasn't just pretend

There are two D's instead of just one, but otherwise perfect. Oh, another thing, Mike always tunes 1/2 step down and on this song he capoed the 2nd fret.

Sorry?? Wha??? I'm a bit confused. Tune down half a step AND capo on the second fret?? Any reason why not just place the capo at the first fret?
