Intro: E-D-C#-C
B-D-C#-E 2X
Verse: (ska chords)
[E] "How's your life?" "How are [B]things?"
"great they're going okay!"
[E] Something stale and superf[B]icial, not to ruin your day.
[E]Something swell, something [B]gay, with the toothiest smile,
[E]something sappy, something hap[B]py, something smells like
[D]bile. I don't want t[B]o burst your bubble, [E]not to rain on [B]your
parade, [D]underneath my skin [B]I'm tired, l[E]imping down the
[B]path I've made.
Prechorus:(octaves)
The [B]clap [C#]of [D]thunder [E]in my veins,
[B]breaks [C#]on [D]barren [E]manifold,
[B]still [C#]and [D]small and [E]so mundane,
[B]the greatest story[E] ever ...
chorus:
[E]told The g[E]reatest story [B]ever
Intro
Verse:(ska)
[E] Are you crawling [B]through dismal? [E]Gray of nothing, [B]frostbite
kills. [D]Does this world make [B]light of weaving, [E]shrouds to
bury , [B]graves to fill? [D]I am just a [B]kindred spirit, [E]a runner
who is [B]running still.
Prechorus:(Octaves-Power chords)
[B]Wel[C#]come [D]to the [E]longest mile,
the most [B]cost[C#]ly th[D]ing you'll [E]ever hold
[B]won[C#]derf[D]ul i[E]s the journey,
[B]the greatest story [E]ever...
Chorus
Bridge:(palm mute powercords progressively getting louder)
[E] All my [B]dreams are [E]slowly d[B]ying.
[E]I can [B]count my [E]years in [B]scars.
[E]The only [B]one that's [E]never [B]left me,
[E]has carried [B]me so [E]very [B]far.
[E]I've heard it [B]said that [E]He wastes [B]nothiing,
[E]so beaut[B]iful [E]to be[B]hold,
[E]the Aut[B]hor of my [E]hope is [B]writing,
[E]the great[B]est story [E]ever...
Chorus
