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
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

Talk around in circles
F#m
Speak until we both get tired

Look up at the streetlights

And wonder how the wold's wired

Pressure makes me sleepy

Avoid the stuff at every cost
Bm
Wind up at the same spot
G
And relish in the time we lost
G
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Bm
Why don't don't you take a little time to breathe it in?

Don't try to tame the sun
