Paper House Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

G♯ Fm

 We lG♯anded our heavy heFmarts

 mG♯otors with bFmroken parts

A♯mwe had a deck of caC♯rds

 it was a sG♯tart Fm

We'd sit out in the sun

and wait for our skin to turn

you would ask for truth

and I'd look for something to burn

F♯ Oh, we walked in a hC♯allFowed place back tFmhen

 on the edge of Dublin, F♯the edge of May and June

 Oh, to live in a pC♯apeFr house agFmain

 where we F♯grew by the lC♯ighFt of the mG♯oon, oh Fm

Often we took the train

the sky pacing white to gray

when you or I would leave

and the other would stay

And we were all that we had

and breathed in each others words

I would ask for truth

and you'd look for something to burn

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then

on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June

Oh, to live in a paper house again

where we grew by the light of the moon

You were much younger then

younger than I am now

I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow

I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then

on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June

Oh, to live in a paper house again

where we grew by the light of the moon

Oh, you know what you are to me

and you know you will always be
