E                              B
The story of your life is so twisted
                            C#m
Like some one out there is missing
                A
Everything you do

E
You're wasted
                     B
Nothing ever really makes sense
                              C#m
If you keep searching you'll find me
          A
Hidden inside you

F#
Leave behind your troubled eyes
E                         B
See brand new what I can do
F#m                              B
Just say yes if you really want me to

Chorus:
         E                B
We can stay like this or go, go, go
        C#m                 A
We can take it too fast or take it slow
         E             B
We can spend our lives oceanside
               C#m
Or count the stars in the desert
      A
On a magic night
         E            B
You can lie awake in bed
             C#m              A
Or come and sleep with me instead
        E                     B
If you give me one chance to take your hand
              D                    A
I'll fill the empty pages as you write
      B            E
The story of your life

The story
Of your life is unwritten
So put me down as your ticket
Don't even fight it

You're shaken
You're not sure of the ending
But let me be the beginning
Just put it in writing

So leave behind your troubled eyes
See brand new what I can do
Just say yes
If you really want me to

Chorus

E                             A
This is now, no I don't mean maybe
E                               A
Just wanna scream and call you baby now
E                           A
Take a chance and call me crazy
E                       A        E A
Smile kid, there's only one way out

Chorus

Fill the empty pages
(Of your life)
Fill the empty pages
(Of your life)
