verse 1
Gm
Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up
F Eb
After ten hours on the bus
Gm
I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby
F Eb
Trying not to think about us
Cm Ab
But then someone in a room five-oh two
Bb
Started doing the thing that we used to do
Cm Ab
Every bang, every boom
C7
It was just like it was happening in my own room
Chorus
Gm
'Cause they've got paper walls,
Gm/F F Eb
Paper walls
Gm Gm/F F Eb
Paper walls... ooh, yeah
verse 2
Gm
I closed the curtain, I shut the light
F Eb
I heard the highway moan
Gm
Next thing I remember they were having a fight
F Eb
And then, she was all alone
Cm Ab
I heard her cry in the darkest hour
Bb
I heard it echo in the hotel shower
Cm Ab
I heard her start packing her things, so
C7
I called her number and I heard it ring...
Chorus
Gm
Right through the paper walls,
Gm/F F Eb
Paper walls
Gm Gm/F F Eb
Paper walls... ooh yeah, now
Bridge
Gm
She said Woah, Woah, woah, yeah come on down.

The way she looked when she opened the door

Hush now baby don't make a sound

When all your love comes a-tumblin' down...

Just like a paper wall,

Just like a paper wall,

It ain't the road that kills you, baby

It ain't the road that kills you, baby
Gm7
It's just the paper walls
