        C#m  B  E 
        C#m  B  E 
        A 

C#m B    E 
In  this house 
   C#m B   E 
Of bro-ken hearts 
   C#m  B   E 
We made our love 
               A 
From stacks of cards and 
C#m  B  E 
Yes, we tried 
   C#m  B  E 
To hold on tight, 'cause 
   C#m B   E 
We knew our love 
            A 
Was hard to find 

        C#m   B 
And our paper houses 
          E    B 
Reach the stars 
       C#m         B 
Till we break and scatter 
        E   B 
Worlds apart 
        C#m      B 
Yeah, I paid the price and 
        A    B 
own the scars 
          A     B 
Why do we climb 
            C#m    B    E 
And fall so far 

( C#m  B  E ) 

    C#m  B   E 
We  held our cards 
   C#m   B    E 
We built them high 
    C#m B  E 
But way to close 
       A 
To the light 
     C#m  B    E 
So I turn your head 
    C#m B  E 
And let us go 
  C#m     B  E 
I learned to breathe 
      A 
On my own 

        C#m   B 
And our paper houses 
          E    B 
Reach the stars 
       C#m         B 
Till we break and scatter 
        E   B 
Worlds apart 
        C#m      B 
Yeah, I paid the price and 
        A    B 
own the scars 
          A     B 
Why do we climb 
            C#m    B    E 
And fall so far 

( C#m  B  E ) 
( C#m  B  E  A ) 

          C#m   B 
Yeah, our paper houses 
          E 
Reach the stars 
       C#m       B 
Til we break and scatter 
        E 
Worlds apart 
C#m            B 
 I don't wanna lose your touch 
E              B 
 I don't wanna hurt this much 
C#m             B       C#m  E 
 I can feel it slipping away 

       C#m      B 
Yeah, I paid the price and 
        A    B 
own the scars 
          A     B 
Why do we climb 
            C#m    B    E 
And fall so far 

( C#m  B  E ) 

          A     B 
Why do we climb 
           E 
To fall so far
