The Story Of Us (Taylor's Version) chords by Taylor Swift

Intro:

C  B#m  B  B  (x2)



Verse 1:
B           C             B
 I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us

How we met and the sparks flew instantly
B          C            B
 And people would say, "They’re the lucky ones"
B           C             B
 I used to know my place was the spot next to you

Now I'm searchin' the room for an empty seat
B               C          B
 ’Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Pre-Chorus:
C         B#m
Oh, a simple complication
 B     B        B
Miscommunications lead to fallout
B
So many things that I wish you knew
C
So many walls up, I can't break through

Chorus:
B          C         B
 Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'
B          C          B
 And I’m dyin’ to know, is it killin' you

Like it’s killin' me? Yeah
B#m           C           B
 I don't know what to say since th? twist of fate
          B
When it all broke down
     B#m         C         B
And th? story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

Post-Chorus:

Next chapter
C  B#m  B  B


Verse 2:
B            C
 How'd we end up this way?
         B
See me nervously pulling at my clothes and tryin’ to look busy
B            C      B
 And you're doin' your best to avoid me
B             C             B
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
                     B
How I was losin' my mind when I saw you here
          C              B
But you held your pride like you should've held me

Pre-Chorus:
C             B#m
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending
B       B        B
Why are we pretending this is nothin'?
   B
I'd tell you I miss you, but I don't know how
 C
I've never heard silence quite this loud

Chorus:
B          C         B
 Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'
B          C         B
 And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah
B#m           C           B
 I don't know what to say since th? twist of fate
          B
When it all broke down
     B#m         C         B
And th? story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

Bridge:
B
 This is looking like a contest
B
Of who can act like they care less
  B#m           C       B
But I liked it better when you were on my side
B
 The battle's in your hands now
B
 But I would lay my armor down
  B#m       C        B
If you said you'd rather love than fight

Pre-Chorus:
B
So many things that you wish I knew
     C
But the story of us might be ending soon

Chorus:
B          C         B
 Now I'm standin' alone in a crowded room

And we're not speakin'
B          C         B
 And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah
B#m           C           B
 I don't know what to say since th? twist of fate
          B
When it all broke down
     B#m         C         B     B C B
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we're not speakin'
B          C          B
 And I'm dyin' to know, is it killin' you

Like it's killin' me? Yeah
B#m           C           B
 I don't know what to say since th? twist of fate
          B
When it all broke down
     B#m         C         B
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
