Intro: D F#m Bm G 



[Verso 1]

              D 
Paper Mache houses 
                   F#m 
Build them up with nothing else 
                 Bm 
Tell me what the sound is 
                G 
Telephone keeps ringing out 

                  D 
Heard them in the next room 
                   F#m 
I don't know whose side was wrong 
               Bm 
Really hope it stops soon 
                    G 
Or someone turn the TV on 

                D 
Talking to your best friend 
                F#m 
Never knew your middle name 
               Bm 
Stay until the show ends 
                      G 
Or at least until the latest train 

                       D 
Held the bottle like a baby 
                   F#m 
Protect it 'til we get back home 
                Bm 
Drink up on the rooftops 
                     G 
And wonder where the city's gone 



[Refrão]
 
G 
Wake up, wake up, wake up 
                     Bm 
Why don't you take a little time to breathe it in? 
G 
Don't try to tame the sun 
                     Bm 
But you could try to feel it on your skin 

G                                   Bm 
I could've let the whole world just hold me back 
G                                  Bm 
I'm steady making choices from the life I had 
A 
Can we just talk about it? 
A 
I know that we could work this out 


Instrumental 
D F#m Bm G 



[Verso 2]
 
               D 
Talk around in circles 
               F#m 
Speak until we both get tired 
               Bm 
Look up at the streetlights 
                   G 
And wonder how the wold's wired 

                  D 
Pressure makes me sleepy 
                   F#m 
Avoid the stuff at every cost 
               Bm 
Wind up at the same spot 
                  G 
And relish in the time we lost 


[Refrão]

A                              Em 
I know that we could work this out

[Verso 3]

               D 
In paper Mache houses 
                   F#m 
Build them up with nothing else 
                 Bm 
Tell me what the sound is 
                G 
Telephone keeps ringing out
