| Em          | Bm          | Am          | Bm          |
| Am          | Bm          | Em          | Bm          |

[Verse 1]
        Em               Bm                      Am                   Bm
All the disused derelict buildings, they tell of stories of time gone by.
             Am                Bm          Em                  Bm
They tell of   broken dreams & promises of all those forgotten lies.

[Verse 2]
        Em                Bm                  Am                 Bm
And the wastegrounds of a city proud tell the story you know too well.
     Am             Bm        Em                    Bm
Just sit back for a while and listen to the story I tell.

[Chorus]
G              D    C     D
  You tell the story,
C              D      Em             D                          (Em)
  you tell the story,   you tell the story you heard ten times before.

[Interlude]
| Em          | Bm          | Am          | Bm          |
| Am          | Bm          | Em          | Bm          |

[Verse 3]
    Em                  Bm                Am                     Bm
You wait for the day it must come soon to get you away from your feelings of gloom.
           Am                    Bm                    Em                Bm
There's no real hope and there's none on it's way, you only survive from day to day.

[Chorus]
G              D    C     D
  You tell the story,
C              D      Em             D                          (G)
  you tell the story,   you tell the story you heard ten times before.

[Chorus]
G              D    C     D
  You tell the story,
C              D      Em             D
  you tell the story,   you tell the story.

[Interlude]
| Am          | Am          | C           | G           |
| Am          | Am          | C           | D           |

[Chorus]
G              D    C     D
  You tell the story,
C              D      Em             D                          (G)
  you tell the story,   you tell the story you heard ten times before.

           G          D
You tell a story of a city proud,
             C                  D
you tell the story you shout it out loud.
             C               D
The same old story you wanna hear no more,
    Em                    Bm               (G)
the same old story you've heard ten times before.

[End-Chorus] (Repeat and Fade Out)
G              D    C     D
  You tell the story,
C              D      Em             D                          (G)
  you tell the story,   you tell the story you heard ten times before.
