Intro: D  A  Bm  F#m 


Verse: 
 F#m                           A 
Their's paper peeling off the walls 
D                           A 
I see the paint from yesteryear 

F#m                     Bm 
 We try to cover up the past 
 D                     A 
But tiny secrets still appear

Verse: 
F#m                                A 
The kitchen floor is a checkered board 
 D                     A 
We've tried an escape for years

The tiles are cracked and colors changed 
 D                            A 
The battleground is all but cleared
