Long Story Short Chords by Corey Kent

[Intro]

C          Fmaj7
  Ooh ooh ooooooh
 
 
[Verse]

         C
We were young
           Fmaj7  F
And it was real
             C
We might be dumb
       Fmaj7    F
But it sure as hell 

ain't healed
 
                    G
You turned off the song
 
Right before that 

last chorus played
       F
Guess you and 

I just weren't on 

the same page
 
 
[Chorus]

     C
You could've been mine, 

I could've been yours
             F
We could've been dragging 

cans driving off in this Ford
             C
We had this whole town 

betting on you and me
       F
But I guess a diamond 

ring don't mean anything
 
    C
It could've been love, 

but it ain't no more
                  F
We could've been head in the clouds, 

instead of out in this storm
              C
But when you broke my heart 

and you slammed that door
           F                                   
Yeah, you went and cut 

what could've 
                          C
been a life-long story short
 
 
[Verse]

               C
That piece of land
            F
Dad handed down
                   C
Could've been our home
                 
Oh, but it's just 
F
an empty field now
 
                G
You closed the book on 

us right before that chapter
       F
Guess we'll never know 

about "happy ever after"
 
 
[Chorus]

     C
You could've been mine, 

I could've been yours
             F
We could've been dragging cans 

driving off in this Ford
             C
We had this whole town 

betting on you and me
       F
But I guess a diamond ring 

don't mean anything
 
    C
It could've been love, 

but it ain't no more
                  F
We could've been head in the clouds, 

instead of out in this storm
              C
But when you broke my heart 

and you slammed that door
           F                                                 
Yeah, you went and 

cut what could've been 
                       C
a life-long story shor-ort
 
                F
Long story short
 
 
[Break]

              G
You took a forever kind of future 

and put it in the past
           F
Yeah, the worst thing about 

parting ways like that
 
 
[Chorus]
        C
Is you could've been mine, 

I could've been yours
             F
We could've been dragging cans 

driving off in this Ford
             C
We had this whole 

town betting on you and me
       F
But I guess a diamond 

ring don't mean anything
 
    C
It could've been love, 

but it ain't no more
                  F
We could've been head in the clouds, 

instead of out in this storm
              C
But when you broke my heart and 

you slammed that door
           F                                         
Yeah, you went and 

cut what could've been 
                     C
a life-long story short
 
 
[Outro]

                F
Long story short
                      C
Life-long story shor-ortt
             F
We could've been
 
 C    F
