A E
I play the song, it was our own
F C
Your photograph's by my side
A D
I know I can't forget you
B E
So I don't even try
[Verse]
A E
The note you left is in my hand
F C
I read again what you say
A D
You're sorry but you love him
B E
And you've both gone away
[Chorus
A D
This is the story of a man
C# F#m
Whose world has fallen apart
Faug A/E
And it's the story
E | A | % |
That is breaking my heart

[Verse]
A E
An open fire, our favorite chair
F C
I get a book from the shelf
A D
But the words I am reading
B E
Could apply to myself
[Chorus
A D
This is the story of a man
C# F#m
Whose world has fallen apart
Faug A/E
And it's the story

That is breaking my heart
