Tell Me A Story

• F

Tell Me a Story by Phillip Phillips
Tuning: Csus2 (CGCGCD) 
Capo on 3rd fret

This is my first tab, i just figured out how to play it by watching him live and by ear. 
The tuning was by far the hardest part to figure out. 
I still dont know the intro, so feel free to tell me in the comments. 
The timing here might be a little  off so listen to the song

    VERSE:
         F 
Tell you a story and it starts with time
E
Moves to how you live, and learn how to die
         C             C2                         G
Another phase in this world that brings death to life
   F
So don't believe in everything you see
E
Because what you want might not be what you need
         C         C2                        G
Hold your breath, jump with me and we'll survive
F         E                                 G      G2   G3   G4
Cause you are the song that leads me to the light
    
    CHORUS:
C3              G5            C3           F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
 D4      D                 D2       F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3                 G5
Scared of what's behind you
    C3                  F2
And scared of what's in front
 D4                 D
Live with what you have now
             D2        F4
And make the best of what's to come

    INTRO: N/A
    
    VERSE:
  F
Tell me a story long and true
                  E
We aren't what we say
We are what we do 
        C                 C2                       G
Just pieces of a puzzle to find where we stand just to confused
F               E                              G      G2   G3   G4 
So you are the moon that pulls me through the night

    CHORUS:
C3              G5            C3           F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
 D4      D                 D2       F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3                 G5
Scared of what's behind you
    C3                  F2
And scared of what's in front
 D4                 D
Live with what you have now
             D2        F4
And make the best of what's to come

THE INTERLUDE HERE IS THE SAME AS THE CHORUS. REPEAT 2X
    
   CHORUS AGAIN:
 C3              G5            C3           F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
 D4      D                 D2       F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3                 G5
Scared of what's behind you
    C3                  F2
And scared of what's in front
 D4                 D
