A LOVE STORY
SARA BAREILLES
CAPO: 5th FRET
Intro
[C] [D]
Verse
[C]
I threw a coin into a fountain
[D]
On a mountain top in Rome
[G]
The water lit from underneath
[C]
So you could see how deep it didn't go
[G] [C]
I wished for cinematic love
[D]
Or some approximation of it
[G] [G/B]
Like somebody else's bravery
[Em]
Could ever be the thing to save me
[C]
On a birthday candle's flame
[D]
I wished to glorify my given name
[G] [Em]
And prove my worth by making myself known
Chorus
[C]
I watch the years collect and gather
[D]
And my bright future knows I'm staring at her
[G/B]
And she never asks about the glory
[Em] [C]
She just wants a love story
[D] [G/B] [Em]
Mmm, mm mm mmmm mm
Verse
[C]
In the Colorado skies
[D]
There is the bluest bird with the blackest eyes
[G/B]
Who fascinates a stranger
[Em]
Who just shared with me he lost his wife
[C]
Five days ago he softly said
[D]
50 years of loving her
[G] [G/B]
And when she held my hand and said goodbye
[Em]
She said, "Don't give up, I'll send you signs"
Chorus
[C]
He stared up at the heavens
[D]
And the tears rolled down his face
[G/B]
Told me I was living proof of her
[Em]
To him that very day
[C]
It took my breath away, his sadness
[D]
And I held it to my chest
[Bm] [G] [Em] [Em] [C] [D] [G/B]
And I let it break me open and be bleeeeeeeeeeessed
[Em]
Be blessed
Verse
[C]
Demolish me, my Maker
[D]
I could ask for nothing more
[Bm] [G/B]
I will build the deepest wishing well
[Em]
From the tears upon my kitchen floor
[C]
A childhood made of wishes
[D]
Naïve and superficial
[G/B]
Compared to what is given
[Em]
They don't even hold a candle
Chorus
[C]
Nothing that I've asked for
[D]
Has ever been as true
[G/B] [Em]
As what was coming for me when it comes from You
[C]
Nothing that I've asked for
[D]
Has ever been as true
[G/B] [Em]
As what was coming for me when it comes from You
[C]
Nothing that I've asked for
[D]
Has ever been as true
[Spoken]
[D]
So let me say right now for the record
[G/B]
I am still going to be here
Asking this world to dance
[C]
Even if it keeps stepping on my holy feet
[C]
You, you stay here with me, okay?
[D]
You stay here with me
[G/B]
Raising your bite against the bitter dark
Your bright longing
[C]
Your brilliant fists of loss
Friend
[C] [D]
If the only thing we have to gain in staying is each other
My god that is plaenty
[G/B]
My god that is wnough
[C]
My god that is so so much for the light to give
[C]
Each of us at each other's backs
[D]
Whispering over and over and over
[G/B] [C]
"Live, live, live"
Outro
[C]
Nothing that I've asked for
[D]
Has ever been as true
[Bm] [G/B] [Em]
As what was coming for me when it comes from You
[C]
Nothing that I've asked for
[D]
Has ever been as true
[G] [C]
As what was coming for me when it comes from You
