A Thousand And One Nights by Starkid

Verse

Db
I know a thousand tales
      Cm
To fill a thousand nights
 Eb Bb                 Eb       Ab
But now another story comes to mind
        Db
A nobel young vizier
        Fm
Ascends to wondrous heights
         Bb                   Db
He's brilliant as he's handsome
        Eb
And handsome as he's kind


Pre-chorus


Db  Cm  Db
He is at once familiar and unknowable
        Bbm    Eb                     Ab
To the frightened girl he meets along the way
        Db 
And to the girl's surprise
Cm                       Fm
Something in his eyes
Db      Ab       F#                    Ab
 Beckons her to know him and inspires her to say



Chorus

Db
I want to know your story
Bbm
I want to know your past
F#      F            Bbm
So tell me slowly from the start
Ab                  Eb
Leave out no detail
F#                  Ab
Savour every part

Db
I want to know your story
Bbm
So make the story last
F#                             F             Bbm
I want to know each twist and turn
Ab                      Eb
Tell me all I've missed
Ebm     Ab
I've so much to learn

F#      Ab
For when it comes to stories 
Db      Bbm
I thought I knew them all
F#
But now I'm face to face with one
F
I can't seem to recall 


Verse 2

The young vizier had come
Em
To help inspire change
Dm      C
But fate has planned an unexpected twist
        F
Within the palace walls
        E       A
He discoveres something strange
        D                       F
And found a missing part of him
G
He didn't know he missed


Pre-Chorus


Em      F
She's at once a comfort and a mystery
Dm      G       C
To the callow man she meets that fateful day
F       G
She's beautiful and wise
Em      C
And something in her eyes
Dm      Bb                         C           Cm
 Beckons him to know her and inspires him to say


Chorus 


F
I want to know your story
C
I want to know your past
Bb                              A      Dm
I want to know your future too
C       G
Fill my days and nights
Bb      C                Gm
With the tale of you

F
I want to know your story
(I want to know your story) 

So make the story last
(So make the story last)
Bb      A       Dm
And linger over every part
F       Gm
Tell it till I know 
Bb      C
every bit by heart 


Bb      F       C       Dm
I never cared for stories until you entered mine 
Bb
And now my only wish is that
Am
Our plots may intertwine


Verse 3

        G       A
But I forget what happens next
F
I'm not sure I understand
D
Remind me how she answers
C       Gm
When he asks her for her hand


Dm      G
 A thousand and one nights with you
    C   F
Is not enough to spend
A       Dm     Bb
So let's make ours a story with no end
Gm      C       Ab
 So let's make ours a story with no end
