[Chorus]
C
Life is a story don't you doubt
Bad times give you something to talk about
The next time you feel you're all worn out
F
Remember life is a story
C
Don't you doubt
G F C
It only takes a day for everything to turn around
[Verse 1]
C
Love is a story they tell to you
But the way they tell it ain't quite true
You'll wake up one day and you're twenty-two
F C
You know love is just a story that they tell to you
G F C
Love takes a lot of work like everything else you're gonna do
[Verse 2]
C
Friends are just the people that you can talk with
Somebody to talk about that somebody to talk About this
But everyone changes and forever is a myth
F C
Friends are just the people that you can talk with
G F C
A lot of them'll leave but only a few you're gonna miss
[Verse 3]
C
School is the place where I did my growing
They fill your brain 'til it's overflowing
They tell you this is all stuff you need to be knowing
F C
School is the place where I did my growing
G F C
Just when I got to like it it was time to be going
[Verse 4]
C
The world is the place where it all happens
They draw lines on it and call it a map
In between every line's a different flag flapping
F C
The world is the place where it all happens
G F C
Six billion people all taking turns eating in a napkin
[Verse 5]
C
Animals are critters just like you and me
The only difference is that they don't worry
About things that they can't smell or see
F C
Animals are critters just like you and me
G F C
So we buy pants and deodorants and claim not to be
[Verse 6]
C
Songs are just something to waste your time
I listen to yours and you listen to mine
Before we know it the day's gone by
F C
Songs are just something to waste your time
G F C
So is everything else so do whatever makes you feel fine
[Verse 7]
C
God's just a story someone made up long ago
Before they had books and tv shows
I don't believe in him and I ain't afraid to say so
F C
You know God's just a story someone made up long ago
G F C
But it's hard not to be superstitious despite all you know
[Verse 8]
C
Everyone's born and everyone dies
Everyone has a time and wonders why
The ocean's blue so is the sky
F F
Everyone's born and everyone dies
G F C
The old lady cries, the new baby cries...and sighs
[Verse 9]
C
Kisses are weird but they can be fun
Instead of shaking hands it's like shaking tongues
I wish I got to do it more when I was young
F C
Kisses are weird but they can be fun
G F C
I hate going once a month without kissing anyone
[Verse 10]
C (for whole verse)
(Spoken): "At this point it's been since uh...how many months
1 2 3 4 5 6...7
I think if kissing someone could make them Pregnant
The last person I kissed would have had their kid by Now"
[Verse 11]
C
Dreams are weird but they can be fun too
They happen more often than kisses it's true
In some I was naked and in some I flew
F C
Dreams are weird but they can be fun too
G F C
I wonder if you're dreaming about me when I'm dreaming about you
[Verse 12]
C
Now that you heard everything I said
There ain't nothing new inside your head
If you want, disregard it all go ahead
F C
Now that you've heard everything I said
G F C
There are probably one or two things you coulda been doing instead
[Chorus]
C
Life is a story don't you doubt
Bad times give you something to talk about
The next time you feel you're all worn out
F
Remember life is a story
C
Don't you doubt
G F C
It only takes a day for everything to turn around
