 SOMEONE ELSE’S STORY CHORDS
Long  ago
 In someone  else's lifetime
Someone  with my name
 Who looked  a lot like me
Came  to know
A  man and made a promise
 He only  had to say
 And that's  where she  would be
Lately
 Although  her feelings run  just as deep
 The promise  she made  has grown impossible  to keep
 And yet  I wish  it  wasn't so
Will  he miss me if  I go?
In  a way
 It's someone  else's story
I  don't see myself  As taking  part at all
Yesterday
 A girl  that I was fond  of
Finally  could see
 The writing  on the  wall
Sadly
 She realized  she'd left  him behind
 And sadder  than that  she knew he wouldn't  even mind
 And though there's nothing left  to say
Would  he listen if  I stay?
 It's all  very well  to say you fool  it's now or never
I  could be choosing No  choices whatsoever
I  could be
 In someone  else's story
 In someone  else's life
 And he  could be in  mine
I  don't see A reason  to be lonely
I  should take my chances
Further  down  the line
And  if
 That girl  I knew should ask  my advice
 Oh I  wouldn't hesitate
 She needn't  ask me twice
 Go now! I'd tell  her that  for free
Trouble  is, the girl  is me
 The story  is, the girl  is me
