Someone else’s story    (intro)    (midi)

 

Florence :

      C                F                      Dm G

1. Long ago in someone else's lifetime,

     C                          Am             F           C         Dm  - G

    someone with my name who looked a lot like me,

      C                        F                          G

    came to know a man and made a promise,

          C               Am            D                D7            G

    he only had to say, and that's where she would be.

     G7            C                         C7               F

    Lately although the feelings run just as deep,

            Em               Am                          D                C

    the promise she made has grown impossible to keep, and yet,

       F                    C   F                      G   C       - F - Dm - G

    I wish it wasn't so, will he miss me if I go?

 

    C                  F                       Dm G

2. In a way it's someone else's sto..ry,

   C                     Am      F          C      Dm   - G

    I don't see myself as taking part at all.

      C                 F                    G

    Yesterday a girl that I was fond of,

     C                 Am          D     D7         G

    finally could see the writing on the wall.

      G7            C                   C7             F

    Sadly she realized she'd left him behind,

           Em                Am                         D                   C

    and sadder than that she knew he wouldn't even mind, and though,

                  F                   C        F                  G     C    

    there's nothing left to say, would he listen if I stay?

 

          G#        Fm             - - - - - -                  F  G

    It's all very well to say you fool it's now or never,

   Em                 B7       Dm                 G    G7       - A7

    I could be choosing, no choices whatsoever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   D                    G                      Em A

3. I could be in someone else's sto..ry,

          D                     Bm        G            D       Em      - A

    in someone else's life and he could be in mine.

    D                    G                Em  A

    I don't see a reason to be lonely,

    D                         Bm        E          E7          A

    I could take my chances further down the line.

      A7            D                          D7            G

    And if that girl I knew should ask my advice,

        F#m           Bm                   E                       D

    oh, I wouldn't hesitate, she needn't ask me twice, go now !

         G                       D      G                  A        D    - Bm          

    I'd tell her that for free, trouble is, the girl is me.            

            Em              A  A7 D

    The story is, the girl is me.
