 Verse: (ska chords)*
 E                            B       
  "How's your life?" "How are things?"
 
 "great they're going okay!"
 E                          B                           
  Something stale and superficial, not to ruin your day.
 E                          B                             
 Something swell, something gay, with the toothiest smile,
 E                             B                        
 something sappy, something happy, something smells like
 D                   B                    E              B   
 bile. I don't want to burst your bubble, not to rain on your
         D                  B           E              
 parade, underneath my skin I'm tired, limping down the
 B              
 path I've made.
 
 Prechorus:(octaves)
     B    C# D       E           
 The clap of thunder in my veins,
 B      C# D      E        
 breaks on barren manifold,
 B     C#  D         E          
 still and small and so mundane,
 B                 E        
 the greatest story ever ...
 
 chorus:
 E         E             B   
 told The greatest story ever

 Verse:(ska)
 E                 B               E                B        
  Are you crawling through dismal? Gray of nothing, frostbite
        D                    B                 E         
 kills. Does this world make light of weaving, shrouds to
        B               D           B               E       
 bury , graves to fill? I am just a kindred spirit, a runner
        B             
 who is running still.
 
 Prechorus:(Octaves-Power chords)
 B  C#   D      E            
 Welcome to the longest mile,
          B   C#   D          E        
 the most costly thing you'll ever hold
 B  C#  D   E             
 wonderful is the journey,
 B                  E      
 the greatest story ever...
 
 Chorus
 Bridge:(palm mute powercords progressively getting louder)
 E       B          E       B    
  All my dreams are slowly dying.
 E     B        E        B     
 I can count my years in scars.
 E        B          E     B       
 The only one that's never left me,
 E           B     E    B   
 has carried me so very far.
 E             B         E         B        
 I've heard it said that He wastes nothiing,
 E       B    E    B    
 so beautiful to behold,
 E      B         E       B       
 the Author of my hope is writing,
 E        B         E      
 the greatest story ever...
