            C9               G

This is the story of a girl

                      A7sus4                  D

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

              Bm              C9

And while she looks so sad in photographs

  A7sus4

I absolutely love her

         G        D C9

When she smiles

VERSE 1



    Bm                       C9

Now how many days in a year

    G            

She woke up with hope

             D

But she only found tears

    Bm                     C9

And I can be so insincere

G                   D    

Making her promises never for real

   Bm                                C9

As long as she stands there waiting

G                              D

Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes

Bm                           C9

Now how many days disappear

         G

When you look in the mirror

   D

So how do you choose







BRIDGE



     Em7                   D/F#     

Your clothes never wear as well the next day

         G                   A7sus4

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

Em7               D/F#                      A7sus4

You never seem to run out of things to say







CHORUS



This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

And while she looks so sad in photographs

I absolutely love her

When she smiles







VERSE 2



Now how many lovers would stay

Just to put up with this s**t 

Day after day

How did we wind up this way

Watchin' the mouths for the words I would say

As long as we stand here waiting

Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose

How do we get there today

When we're walking too far for the price of the shoes







BRIDGE



Your clothes never wear as well the next day

And your hair never falls in quite the same way

But you never seem to run out of things to say







CHORUS



This is the story of a girl

Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

And while she looked so sad and lonely there

I absolutely love her

When she smiles

I absolutely love her

When she smiles
