Paper House

[Ab] [Fm]

We l[Ab]anded our heavy he[Fm]arts
m[Ab]otors with b[Fm]roken parts
[Bbm]we had a deck of ca[C#]rds
it was a s[Ab]tart     [Fm]

We'd sit out in the sun
and wait for our skin to turn
you would ask for truth
and I'd look for something to burn

[F#]  Oh, we walked in a h[C#]all[F]owed place back t[Fm]hen
on the edge of Dublin, [F#]the edge of May and June
Oh, to live in a p[C#]ape[F]r house ag[Fm]ain
where we [F#]grew by the l[C#]igh[F]t of the m[Ab]oon, oh   [Fm]

Often we took the train
the sky pacing white to gray
when you or I would leave
and the other would stay

And we were all that we had
and breathed in each others words
I would ask for truth
and you'd look for something to burn

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then
on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June
Oh, to live in a paper house again
where we grew by the light of the moon

You were much younger then
younger than I am now
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then
on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June
Oh, to live in a paper house again
where we grew by the light of the moon

Oh, you know what you are to me
and you know you will always be
