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,
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
