Verse 1:
D
Cartwheel back in time
D
Shy kid in '99
D
Looked different, felt the same inside
D
Too young to understand why
D

Changed schools, changed my clothes
D
Pierced my ears, then my nose
D
Oh well, I guess that's how it goes
                  Bm
Another storybook line
       A                     D
In the story of my so-called life


Verse 2:
D
One credit short to graduate
D
Most of my friends moved away
D
One night I took MDMA
D
Entered an altered state
D
Saw my reflection in the waves
D
They tried to carry me away
D
Heard a voice inside me say
                   Bm
It's your story to write
    A                     D
The story of my so-called life


Chorus:
            G                   Bm
This is the story I was born to write
      A
Let's start from the beginning
D             G                    Bm
Don't tell me how it's gonna end tonight
     A
Just let me keep on living
A
Let me keep on living


Verse 3:
D
VHS hit rewind
D
Left the left coast behind
D
I saw him on the Orange Line
D
He had me petrified
D
Midsummer nights like a dream
D
He was Rimbaud, I was Verlaine
D
When we busted at the seams
                     Bm
He took more than my pride


Bridge:
A
Packed it up, headed south
A
Couch surfing house to house
A
Played until my arms gave out
         G
For any amount
G
2020 came along
G
Darkest hour 'fore the dawn
G
You showed up on my lawn
               A
Now I see the light
A
Since you came into my so-called life


Chorus:
            G                   Bm
This is the story I was born to write
      A
Let's start from the beginning
D             G                    Bm
Don't tell me how it's gonna end tonight

Verse 4:
D
Cartwheel to present day
D
Staring at an empty page
D
Trying to find the words to say
D
Words get in my way
D
A triumph or a tragedy
D
A failure or a masterpiece
D
Don't know what the hell it means
                Bm
But I know it's mine
