Lyrics

[Intro]
| C#m7  -    | - - | -    B/D# | E - |
| C#m7  B/D# | E - | C#m7 B/D# | E - |
| Aadd9 -    | - - |

[Verse 1]
C#m7 B/D# E        C#m7 B/D# E
In   this house of bro_ken_ hearts
   C#m7 B/D# E                     Aadd9
We made our  love out of stacks of cards
    C#m7 B/D# E        C#m7 B/D# E
And yes, we   tried to hold on   tight
          C#m7 B/D# E                Aadd9
'Cause we knew our  love was hard to find

[Chorus]
        C#m7  B/D#             E
And our paper houses reach the stars
B/D#        C#m7      B/D#                E
    'Til we break and scatter worlds apart
B/D#
    Yeah,
  C#m7     B/D#              E
I paid the price and own the scars
B/D#                Aadd9
    Why did we climb
B/D#           C#m7    B/D#
    and fall so    far?

[Verse 2]
E C#m7 B/D# E   C#m7 B/D# E
             We held our  cards,
C#m7  B/D# E
built them high
    C#m7 B/D# E                 Aadd9
But way  too  close to the light
   C#m7 B/D# E        C#m7 B/D# E
So turn your head and let  us   go
  C#m7    B/D# E            Aadd9
I learned to   breathe on my     own

[Chorus]
        C#m7  B/D#             E
And our paper houses reach the stars
B/D#             C#m7    B/D#                E
    'Til we break    and scatter worlds apart
B/D#
    Yeah,
  C#m7     B/D#              E
I paid the price and own the scars
B/D#               Aadd9
    Why do we climb
B/D#           C#m7    B/D#
    and fall so    far?
E Aadd9
       Yeah,
    C#m7  B/D#             E
our paper houses reach the stars
             C#m7    B/D#                E
'Til we break    and scatter worlds apart

[Bridge]
C#m7              B/D#
    I don't wanna lose your touch
E
 I don't wanna hurt this much
C#m7               B/D#         E
    I can feel you slipping away
        C#m7     B/D#              E
Yeah, I paid the price and own the scars
B/D#               Aadd9
    Why do we climb
B/D#           C#m7    B/D#
    and fall so    far?

[Outro]
E C#m7 B/D# E               Aadd9
             Why do we climb
B          Aadd9
 to fall so     far?
