Tom: A
Introdução:
G/B C D
Well I've been huddled up alone
By the fire even though
G/B C G D
I'm not exactly feeling cold
G/B C D
And I've been bundled up for days
Too confused to be amazed
G/B C G D
At all the icy water in my veins
Pre-Chorus
C G/B D C Em D
Why do I feel so alone?
G/B C D
Yeah I've been moving in and out
Of this old split-level house
G/B C G D
And I?d just as soon burn the whole place down
G/B C D
?Cause I quit working lumberyards
To build a mansion out of cards
Am C G D
But I feel thin behind these paper walls
Pre-Chorus
C G/B D C Em D
Why do I feel so alone?
G D
Cause the angriest bark
Am C
Is always worse than the bite
G D
Like the ache in my chest
F C
That my heart didn?t invite
G D
But if the prettiest romance
Am C
Isn?t perfectly right
Am G/B
That makes every love lost
C D
Just a holiday every night
G/B C D
Well I've been painting through the night
In the basement out of sight
G/B C G D
Brushing paper tigers black and white
G/B C D
?Cause come tomorrow afternoon
I?ll fill a helium balloon
Am C G D
And set them free into the baby blue sky
Pre-Chorus
C G/B D C Em D
So they won?t have to be alone
Chorus
F C G D
But when I close these heavy lids after dark
F C
Each sweet dream is a target
D Em C D
And all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark
G D
Cause the angriest bark
Am C
Is always worse than the bite
G D
Like the ache in my chest
F C
That my heart didn?t invite
G D
But if the prettiest romance
Am C
Isn?t perfectly right
Am G/B
That makes every love lost
C D
Just a holiday every night
Am G/B C D
Just a holiday every night
Am G/B C D
Just a holiday every night
G Am G/B C G Am C D
Just a holiday every night
G/B C D
Well I've been huddled up alone
By the fire even though
G/B C G D
I'm not exactly feeling cold
G/B C D
But how my heartache hit the trail
When a paper tiger tail
Am C G D
Fluttered down, I guess I?ll never know
