[Verse 1]
N.C.
I told a story, it began and then it ended
N.C.
And in the middle you were hanging by a thread
N.C.
Oh I could tell that you knew what was gonna happen
G D G
So I changed course and turned the plot right on its head
G D G
There was a murder, an affair and lots of money
D G
A girl so beautiful they thought that she was dim
C Cm G F
Oh I could see it in your eyes you thought it'd be her in disguise
D G
But I gotcha cause it was always him
[Chorus]
G C G
It won't be long before we're gone
Am C D
There may be no one to remember
C G E
In the meanwhile I'm angling to make you smile
D G
And if I do, my work is done
[Verse 2]
G D G
I told a story, did not know where it was going
D G
And not to boast, but it was off to a great start
C G C
It was a while before I noticed you were crying
G D G
Who doesn't love a hero with a broken heart?
G D G
In the nick of time the loose ends tied up very neatly
G D G
Count myself lucky that it made sense in the end
C Cm G F
Some of my other stories won't end on such a happy note
D G
But I'll make it so long as we are friends
[Chorus]
G C G
It won't be long before we're gone
Am C D
There may be no one to remember
C G E
In the meanwhile I'm angling to make you smile
D G
And if I do, my work is done
D G
And if I do, my work is done
