Gm7 

verse 1 

            Gm 
Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up 
      F                    Eb 
After ten hours on the bus 
       Gm 
I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby 
    F                     Eb 
Trying not to think about us 
         Cm                Ab 
But then someone in a room five-oh two 
         Bb 
Started doing the thing that we used to do 
Cm            Ab 
Every bang, every boom 
        C7             N.C. 
It was just like it was happening in my own room 

Chorus 

 N.C.                      Gm 
'Cause they've got paper walls, 
           Gm/F  F  Eb 
Paper walls 
            Gm           Gm/F  F  Eb 
Paper walls... ooh, yeah 

verse 2 

    Gm 
I closed the curtain, I shut the light 
   F                   Eb 
I heard the highway moan 
      Gm 
Next thing I remember they were having a fight 
           F            Eb 
And then, she was all alone 
Cm                      Ab 
I heard her cry in the darkest hour 
Bb 
I heard it echo in the hotel shower 
Cm                 Ab 
I heard her start packing her things, so 
C7                      N.C. 
I called her number and I heard it ring... 

Chorus 

 N.C.                      Gm 
Right through the paper walls, 
           Gm/F  F  Eb 
Paper walls 
            Gm           Gm/F  F  Eb 
Paper walls... ooh yeah, now 

Bridge 

         C5 
                                   Gm 
She said   Woah,     Woah,    woah,  yeah     come on down. 

Instrumental 

Gm     F    Eb   Gm   F   Eb 


verse 3 

Cm                      Ab 
I've never seen such a sight before 
Bb 
The way she looked when she opened the door 
Cm                  Ab 
Hush now baby don't make a sound 
C7                      N.C. 
When all your love comes a-tumblin' down... 

Chorus 

 N.C.                Gm 
Just like a paper wall, 
           Gm/F  F  Eb 
Paper wall 
           Gm           Gm/F  F  Eb 
Paper wall...Ooh just like a paper wall 
Gm 
Just like a paper wall, 
           Gm/F  F  Eb 
Paper wall 
           Gm           Gm/F  F  Eb    Ebsus2  F/G  Gm7 
Paper wall...Ooh just like a paper wall 

Outro 

Gm7 
It ain't the road that kills you, baby 
Gm7 
It's the all night calls; 
Gm7 
It ain't the road that kills you, baby 
Gm7 
It's just the paper walls
