Capo: 3 



verse 1: 
G/B               C             D 
   Well I've been huddled up alone 
                        
By the fire even though 
G/B          C             G   D 
   I'm not exactly feeling cold 
G/B                 C               D 
   And I've been bundled up for days 
                          
Too confused to be amazed 
G/B           C         G     D 
   At all the icy water in my veins 


Pre-Chorus 
C  G/B  D                   C  Em  D 
         Why do I feel so alone? 


verse 2: 
G/B               C              D 
   Yeah I've been moving in and out 

Of this old split-level house 
G/B             C                G           D 
   And I?d just as soon burn the whole place down 
G/B              C              D 
   ?Cause I quit working lumberyards 

To build a mansion out of cards 
Am           C                 G     D      
  But I feel thin behind these paper walls 


Pre-Chorus 
C  G/B  D                   C   Em  D 
         Why do I feel so alone? 


[Refrão]
          G        D 
Cause the angriest bark  
          Am             C 
Is always worse than the bite 
         G          D 
Like the ache in my chest 
              F        C 
That my heart didn?t invite 
           G          D 
But if the prettiest romance 
      Am        C 
Isn?t perfectly right 
           Am         G/B 
That makes every love lost 
       C       D 
Just a holiday every night 


Interlude (x2): G  Am  G/B  C  G  Am  C  D 


verse 3: 
G/B               C                     D 
   Well I've been painting through the night 

In the basement out of sight 
G/B         C            G         D 
   Brushing paper tigers black and white 
G/B              C            D 
   ?Cause come tomorrow afternoon 

I?ll fill a helium balloon 
Am               C           G      D 
  And set them free into the baby blue sky 


Pre-Chorus 
C  G/B  D                           C  Em  D 
         So they won?t have to be alone 


Chorus 


Bridge: 
F             C                G             D 
 But when I close these heavy lids after dark 
    F                  C              
Each sweet dream is a target 
           D               Em        C           D 
And all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark 



[Refrão]
          G        D 
Cause the angriest bark  
          Am             C 
Is always worse than the bite 
         G          D 
Like the ache in my chest 
              F        C 
That my heart didn?t invite 
           G          D 
But if the prettiest romance 
      Am        C 
Isn?t perfectly right 
           Am         G/B 
That makes every love lost 
       C       D 
Just a holiday every night 
Am  G/B       C      D             
       Just a holiday every night 
Am  G/B       C      D             
       Just a holiday every night 


Interlude (x2): 
G  Am  G/B  C  G  Am        C       D 
                     Just a holiday every night  

G  Am  G/B  C  G  Am  C  D 



Ending: 
G/B               C             D 
   Well I've been huddled up alone 
                        
By the fire even though 
G/B          C             G   D 
   I'm not exactly feeling cold 
G/B             C                 D 
   But how my heartache hit the trail 
  
When a paper tiger tail 
Am           C                  G     D 
   Fluttered down, I guess I?ll never know
