Story Of A Girl Cover Tab

by Matchbook Romance


  hey, pretty simple song, almost the same as the original. Not too many people have 
this version, but i like it better. the chords are just slightly different. i'm not sure if 
got the names right though. once i figure out the solo i'll post it as a comment or something.

STANDARD TUNING(EADGBe)

                      
This is the story of a girl
                                           
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
                            
While she looks so sad in photographs
   
I absolutely love her
                            
When she smiles


Verse:
                        
How many days in the year
                                 
She woke up with hope but she only found tears
                        
And I can be so incincere
                      
Making her promises never for real
                                
As long as she stands there waiting
                             
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
                      
How many days disappear
                                  
When you look in the mirror so how do you choose

Bridge:
                        
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
                        
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
                               
But you never seem to run out of things to say

Chorus
Verse 2:
                         
How many lovers would stay
                               
Just to put up with this every day and all day
                          
How did we wind up this way
                               
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
                               
As long as we stand here waiting
                               
Wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
                       
How do we get there today
                                        
When we\'re walking too far for the price of our shoes

                   
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
                       
Your hair never falls in quite the same way
                                  
But you never seem to run out of things to say

             
This is the story of a girl
                                          
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
                            
While she looks so sad in photographs
   
I absolutely love her
                     
When she smiles
