verse 1 
C#m B    E 
In  this house 
   C#m B   E 
Of bro-ken hearts 
   C#m  B   E 
We make our love 
               A 
From stacks of cards 
C#m  B  E 
Yes, we try 
   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

We put them high 
    C#m  B  E 
But went to close 
       A 
To the light 
     C#m  B    E 
So I took your hand 
    C#m B    E 
And let ours fold 
  C#m  B  E 
I love to be 
      A 
On my own 

 
        C#m   B 
And our paper houses

Reach the stars

Till we break and scatter

And fall so far
