Paper Crown

F
When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses
         Bb          F
You were sealing the deal
F
Halfway down the road and ain't it
                                   D     A    Bb
Funny how the ghosts they fade and suddenly appear

[Chorus 1]
Bb               G
   You went too far
                      F           Bb
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
                                F     G Bb
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
                         F   G Bb
And the wolf is at the door, oh
                                 F          C          Bb
Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down
       G             Bb    F
At the pages of your paper crown

[Verse 2]
F
You reached out for more and as the waves hit
At the shore you felt
    Bb             F
The fading of your will
F
Choke back the metaphors

The bottom of the ladder ask me
             D A       Bb
If I love you still

[Chorus 2]
Bb               G
   You went too far
                      F           Bb
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
                                F     G Bb
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
                         F   G Bb
And the wolf is at the door, oh
                             F     C   Bb
And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down
       G             Bb       F
On the ashes of your paper crown

G    C

[Verse 3]
C                             Bb
  In the bright light of the sun
                        F        Eb      Dm
Will you make sure everyone can see your face?
C                               Bb
  You make fun of everyone who falls
                          F      Eb    Dm     G
In the meantime they were saving you a place

[Chorus 3]
             Bb                 F     G Bb
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
                        F    G Bb
And the wolf is at the door, oh
                            F    C Bb
And the talking heads don't make a sound
       G             Bb    F
At the aging of your paper crown
     G               Gm          Bb
It's better when you don't look down
       G             Bb      F
At the pages of your paper crown
