Paper House

Em


[Verse 1]
Em
Who made it heaven
             Em    C
Who made your dinner
C                        B
And polished the silver (ware)
Em
Who saw the warnings
Em                  C
The flames in the distance
 C
And still just didn’t care


[Pre-Chorus]
      Am        D
Even us flickering
    G              Em
Is the prettiest thing
C
I’ll keep my mouth shut
                B
But if anyone asks


[Chorus]
          Em
You were the match
Em
In this paper house of mine
              C
You came in as a guest and then
    Am           B
You left nothing behind
         Em
Why’d my perfect match
  Em
Just leave me high and dry
 Em                 C                                   Am
We always worked on paper, always thought that we’d be fine
B                                 Em
In this paper house of mine


[Verse 2]
Em
You fit the picture
 Em                     C
Then ripped it to pieces
 C                    B           Em
I guess that I wasn’t a-ware, ware, ware
 Em
I’m a notch on your bedpost
 Em                    C
And I don’t deserve this
C
Yeah you just didn't care


[Pre-Chorus]
     Am          D
Even us flickering
      G          Em
Is the prettiest thing
      C
I’ll keep my mouth shut
           B7
But if anyone asks


[Chorus]
            Em
You were the match
  Em
In this paper house of mine
                C
You came in as a guest and then
     C           Am
You left nothing behind
 B               Em
Why’d my perfect match
 Em
Just leave me high and dry
Em                C                               Am
We always worked on paper, always thought that we’d be fine
 B                      Em
In this paper house of mine


[Interlude]
Em C Em C

[Bridge]
 Em                     C
If it all burns down tonight
C
You’re gonna stay inside


[Pre-Chorus]
         Am      D
Even us flickering
        G        Em
Is the prettiest thing
 C
I’ll keep my mouth shut
 C              B         B7
But if anyone asks, asks, asks


[Chorus]
             Em
You were the match
 Em
In this paper house of mine
                C
You came in as a guest and then
    C           Am
You left nothing behind
 B             Em
Why’d my perfect match
 Em
Just leave me high and dry
  Em               C                             Am         B
We always worked on paper, always thought that we’d be fine
  Em                         B Em
In this paper house of mine
