G
Yesterday's a memory
D
Another page of history
 C
Sell yourself for hopes and dreams
      Am
That leave you feeling sideways
G
Tripping over my own feet
  D
Trying to walk to my own beat
  C
Another car out on the street
 Am                 C
Trying to find the highway
Hey, are you going my way?

Chorus:
G                        D
This is the story of my life
                    Em
And I write it everyday
                            C
I know it isn't black and white
                        G
And it's anything but gray
                        D
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK 'cause
Em                            C
Anything can, everything can happen
                        G  D
That's the story of my life

I'm gonna write the melody
That's gonna make history
Yeah, and when I paint my masterpiece
I swear I'll show you first
There just ain't a way to see
Who, when, why or what will be
'Til now is then it's a mystery
A blessing and a curse
Or something worse, yeah

Chorus:
G                        D
This is the story of my life
                    Em
And I write it everyday
                            C
I know it isn't black and white
                        G
And it's anything but gray
                        D
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK 'cause
Em
Anything can, everything can
C
I've been thinking
              Am                             C
Baby, you can help me write the story of my life
               Em C Am  D
Hey, whaddaya say?

This is the story of my life

And I hope you're by my side
When I'm writing the last page

Chorus:
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but gray
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK 'cause
Anything can, everything can happen
That's the story of my life
I've been thinking, baby we can
This is the story of my life
The story of my life
The story of my life.
