{Am}You say it was like this,
{E}I was torn between two worlds.
{Am}One full of promise,
{E}And the truth I knew would hurt.
{Am}You say I’m no angel,
{E}Trying to put the past behind.
{Am}So now I try to{E} find,
A{F} place to leav{Dm}e all,
M{F}emories in m{Dm}y mind.
Chorus:
{Am}We tr{F}y, o{C}ur l{E}ives {Am}away,{F}
{C}Then stumble to t{E}he grave.
{Am}We cr{F}y, a{C}nd st{E}ill they s{F}ay,
The past won{Dm}t go away.
The story of {Am}my life.
See I was just thinking,
Now my life is on the road.
The straight and the narrow,
On the route that I’ve been shown.
You know its not easy,
To try to change your ways.
So now I try to find,
A{F} place to leav{Dm}e all,
M{F}emories in m{Dm}y mind.
Chorus:
{Am}We tr{F}y, o{C}ur l{E}ives {Am}away,{F}
{C}Then stumble to t{E}he grave.
{Am}We cr{F}y, a{C}nd st{E}ill they s{F}ay,
The past won{Dm}t go away.
The story of {Am}my life.
