The Story

C

[Chorus]

                               Dm
My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things
    G                                         C
But I know what they're thinking and so do you
                                 Dm
'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true
G                                C
All the things they're saying about you

[Verse]

                                  G
If you had something on your mind, I know you'd say
                                          C
'Cause you always said if we had problems, we would find a way
                                                    G
But do you know you haven't said much lately and you look a little pale?
                                    C
Guess there's something on your mind or are you just unwell?

[Chorus]

                               Dm
My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things
    G                                         C
But I know what they're thinking and so do you
                                 Dm
'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true
G                                C
All the things they're saying about you

[Verse]

                                  G
It's nice in times of trouble, to have a friend around
                                    C
But I need some time alone with you, I'm sure you wouldn't mind
                               G
So let's sit by the fire, just you and me alone
                                     C
And you can cook a special meal, and I'll go buy some wine

[Chorus]

                               Dm
My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things
    G                                         C
But I know what they're thinking and so do you
                                 Dm
'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true
G                                C
All the things they're saying about you

[Verse]

                                       G
I'm beginning to get the picture, it's all becoming clear
                                 C
Why'd you have to do it, did you have to make it here?
                                   G
You can't mean what you're saying, tell me it's not true
                                   C
It wouldn't be so hard if I didn't love you

[Chorus]

                               Dm
My friends avoid the issue and talk of other things
    G                                         C
But I know what they're thinking and so do you
                                 Dm
'Cause I have heard the story, I don't believe it's true
G                                C
All the things they're saying about you

[Outro]

Dm                     G         C
