Paper Hearts

C                         Am
Here's the story, here we are
                       G
Falling forward into parts
                         F                             C
Playing something into nothing till we know it ‘s not ours
                          Am
All we have is something simple
                           G
All we know is what's been gone
                    F
Going into some dramatic, static pause

[Pre-chorus]
Am                      F
Whoever can leave here first,
                    C
Wherever I see you hurts,
                   G
Whatever I need to do

[Chorus]
C            G
   We try        to tell a story,
Continues after the ad
Am           F                      C
   We write      each other into        our lives,
G            Am                     F
   But after all it's all just as thin as paper hearts

[Verse 2]
C                          Am
Take the sense of false direction
                          C
Take the words out of my head
                      G
Always hurt under protection
        F                 C
Always cut where I don't let in
                          Am
Oh my mind, just try on patience
                           G
Oh my heart, just lead the way
                        C      F          Am    G
All my life has been a silent fight to be ok

[Chorus]
C            G
   We try        to tell a story,
Am           F                      C
   We write      each other into        our lives,
G            Am                     F
   But after all it's all just as thin as paper hearts

[Interlude]
(moves in same way as chorus)
C   G   Am   F  x2

[Chorus]
C            G
   We try        to tell a story,
Am           F                      C
   We write      each other into        our lives,
G            Am                     F
   But after all it's all just as thin as paper

[Chorus]
C            G
   We try        to tell a story,
Am           F                      C
   We write      each other into        our lives,
G            Am                     F              C*
   But after all it's all just as thin as paper hearts
