Long Story Short Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]We were young
And it was [G]real
We might be [D]done
But [G]it sure as hell ain't healed

[Verse 2]
[G]You turned off [A]the song right before
that last chorus played
Guess you [G]and I just weren't
on the same page

[Verse 3]
You [D]could've been mine,
I could've been yours
We could've [G]been dragging
cans driving off in this Ford
We had this [D]whole town
betting on you and me
But I guess [G]a diamond ring
don't mean anything
It [D]could've been love,
but it ain't no more
We could've been [G]head in the clouds,
'stead of out in this storm
But when you [D]broke my heart
and you slammed that door
Yeah, you went [G]and cut what could've
been a life long story short
[D]

[Verse 4]
That piece of land
Dad handed [G]down
Could've been [A]our [D]home
Oh, but it's just [G]an empty field now

[Verse 5]
You closed the [A]book on us right
before that chapter
Guess [G]we'll never know about
"happy ever after"

[Verse 6]
You [D]could've been mine,
I could've been yours
We could've [G]been dragging
cans driving off in this Ford
We had this [D]whole town
betting on you and me
But I guess [G]a diamond ring
don't mean anything
It [D]could've been love,
but it ain't no more
We could've been [G]head in the clouds,
'stead of out in this storm
But when you [D]broke my heart and
you slammed that door
Yeah, you went [G]and cut what could've
been a life long story [D]short
Long story short
[G]

[Verse 7]
You took [A]a forever kind of [D]future
and put [A]it in the past
Yeah, the wor[G]st thing about
parting ways like that

[Verse 8]
Is you [D]could've been mine,
I could've been yours
We could've [G]been dragging
cans driving off in this Ford
We had this [D]whole town
betting on you and me
But I guess [G]a diamond ring
don't mean [D]anything
It could've been love,
but it ain't no more (ain't no more)
We could've been [G]head in the clouds,
'stead of out in this storm
But when you [D]broke my heart
and you slammed that door
Yeah, you went [G]and cut what could've
been a life long story short
[D]

[Verse 9]
Long story [G]short
A life long story short, mm[D]hmm

[Outro 1]
[D][G][D]
