Biography:
Nine Days is a power pop/rock band that was popular in the early 00s. Formed in New York by musicians John Hampson and Brian Desveaux in 1994, they released three albums independently during the 90s before their mainstream debut album, 'The Madding Crowd', was released in 2000. Their greatest popularity came from a handful of songs from said album (which took its title from the 1874 romantic drama novel 'Far From the Madding Crowd') such as the tracks "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" and "If I Am".

[Chorus]
Csus2 G
This is the story of a girl,
A7sus4 D
who cried a river and drowned the whole world
Bm Csus2
and while she looks so sad in photographs,
A7sus4
I absolutely love her
G D Csus2 G D Csus2
when she smiles
[1st Verse]
Bm Csus2
How many days in a year
G D
she woke up with hope but she only found tears
Bm Csus2
And I can be so insincere
G D
making the promises never for real
Bm Csus2
As long as she stands there waiting
G D
Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes
Bm Csus2
How many days disappear
G D
You look in the mirror, so how do you choose
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Dsus4/F#
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
G A7sus4
and your hair never falls in quite the same way,
Em Dsus4/F# A7sus4
you never seem to run out of things to say
[Chorus]
Csus2 G
This is the story of a girl
A7sus4 D

when she smiles
[2nd Verse]
Bm Csus2
How many lovers would stay
G D
just to put up with this everyday and all day
Bm Csus2
How did we wind up this way,
G D
watching our mouths for the words that we say
Bm Csus2
As long as we stand here waiting
G D
wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
Bm Csus2
How do we get there today
G D
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Dsus4/F#
