Gm7

[Verse 1]

            Gm
Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up
      F                    Eb
After ten hours on the bus
       Gm
I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby
    F                     Eb
Trying not to think about us
         Cm                Ab
But then someone in a room five-oh two
         Bb
Started doing the thing that we used to do
Cm            Ab
Every bang, every boom
        C7             N.C.
It was just like it was happening in my own room

[Chorus]

 N.C.                      Gm
'Cause they've got paper walls,
           Gm/F  F  Eb
Paper walls
            Gm           Gm/F  F  Eb
Paper walls... ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]

    Gm
I closed the curtain, I shut the light
   F                   Eb
I heard the highway moan
      Gm
Next thing I remember they were having a fight
           F            Eb
And then, she was all alone
Cm                      Ab
I heard her cry in the darkest hour
Bb
I heard it echo in the hotel shower
Cm                 Ab
I heard her start packing her things, so
C7                      N.C.
I called her number and I heard it ring...

[Chorus]

 N.C.                      Gm
Right through the paper walls,
           Gm/F  F  Eb
Paper walls
            Gm           Gm/F  F  Eb
Paper walls... ooh yeah, now

[Bridge]

         C5
                                   Gm
She said   Woah,     Woah,    woah,  yeah     come on down.

[Instrumental]

Gm     F    Eb   Gm   F   Eb


[Verse 3]

Cm                      Ab
I've never seen such a sight before
Bb
The way she looked when she opened the door
Cm                  Ab
Hush now baby don't make a sound
C7                      N.C.
When all your love comes a-tumblin' down...

[Chorus]

 N.C.                Gm
Just like a paper wall,
           Gm/F  F  Eb
Paper wall
           Gm           Gm/F  F  Eb
Paper wall...Ooh just like a paper wall
Gm
Just like a paper wall,
           Gm/F  F  Eb
Paper wall
           Gm           Gm/F  F  Eb    Ebsus2  F/G  Gm7
Paper wall...Ooh just like a paper wall

[Outro]

Gm7
It ain't the road that kills you, baby
Gm7
It's the all night calls;
Gm7
It ain't the road that kills you, baby
Gm7
It's just the paper walls
