Paper House

• Ab

Intro: Ab Fm 

    Ab                Fm 
We landed our heavy hearts 
 Ab          Fm 
motors with broken parts 
Bbm                C# 
we had a deck of cards 
          Ab       Fm 
it was a start 

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#                    C#/F                Fm 
  Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then 
                       F# 
on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June 
                  C#/F         Fm 
Oh, to live in a paper house again 
         F#           C#/F         Ab        Fm 
where we grew by the light of the moon, oh 

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
