Paperweights

D             D6      D       F#m
I’ll show you I’m not made of stone
D         D6          D          
How can I freeze when there’s 
  F#m
this floor below
G             A               Bm
I’m afraid to flood until you 
              G
tell me you can swim


[Chorus]
          D
But these words
         A
Will not wait
      Bm              G
Under paperweights anymore
                      D
You say, “I paint the truth”
                      A
So watch these colors run
                 Bm              
They’ll lead you back to where it 
   G
began


[Verse]
D           D6      D       F#m
You tell me you can take it all
D          D6       D            
None of my warnings make you feel
 F#m
 less tall
        G             A           
Oh, you tell me it is time to let 
    Bm               G
the letters find the page

[Chorus]
          D
But these words
         A
Will not wait
      Bm              G
Under paperweights anymore
                      D
You say, “I paint the truth”
                      A
So watch these colors run
                 Bm              
They’ll lead you back to where it 
   G
began



[Verse 2]
                G
Can you hear it coming
                 A
The thunder of a beat
               Bm
The tales of a lifetime
                       D
The way the mountain’s climbed
         G
I am not afraid
                   A
Of what it all may look like
                     Bm
On the other side of truth
          D
No longer bulletproof


                G
Can you hear it coming
                 A
The thunder of a beat
               Bm
The tales of a lifetime
                       D
The way the mountain’s climbed
         G
I am not afraid
                   A
Of what it all may look like
                     Bm
On the other side of truth
          D
No longer bulletproof
