Intro: Am C Fmaj9 C Cmaj9 

      Am 
I was floating across the dance floor, 
      C 
I was trying to think of something to say, 
      Fmaj9                                          C  Cmaj9 
When i went up to your girlfriends and pulled you away. 
Am 
You were so perfectly pretty, 
C 
I could love every mistake. 
       Fmaj9                                C  Cmaj9 
At the end of the night, i asked you your name. 

          F                   Am 
You said "Laura" - i couldn't ignore it. 
               G                      Dm 
The name of my old love keeps fucking me up 

       C    Am        G 
But on paper, i could write it out for you. 
   C    Am        G 
On paper, i could draw you a picture. 
   C    Am        G                     Dm             C 
On paper, i could finish any story with any ending you please. 

  Am 
I saw you in a dream in the morning, 
         C 
It's the only time i can remember. 
         Fmaj9                                        C  Cmaj9 
You were sitting at my kitchen table with no makeup on. 
   Am 
If i flew in through the front door, 
C 
You were so happy to see it, 
             Fmaj9                                    C  Cmaj9 
And you were telling me about everything you saw on tour. 

            F                                Am 
And i said "know this - i'll listen to your records, 
                    G 
i'll keep you in my head." 
Dm 
Shit you've probably got a boyfriend 

       C    Am        G 
But on paper, i could write it out for you. 
   C    Am        G 
On paper, i could draw you a picture. 
   C    Am        G                     Dm             C 
On paper, i could finish any story with any ending you please.
