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
Instrumental
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
G
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Bm
Why don't 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 Em
I know that we could work this out
