Wallpaper chords by Megan Cromwell

• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:
  F       Am        Bb
I promise I won’t tell her bout the text you sent last February
F        Am         Bb
Promise I won’t share with her your deepest secrets I still carry
F        Am       Bb
I won’t tell her how you tend to leave whenever things get scary
F       Am          Bb
Cuz you never know this girl might be the one you choose to marry
  F        Am       Bb
But I can’t help but dream about the times when I was something to you
F      Am     Bb
Held onto forever when I was too scared that I would lose you
F         Am     Bb
Boxes filled with memories of all the times I knew I loved you
F      Am      Bb
Be the one I look for in a crowded hall but now

Pre-chorus:
  F             Am
You walk into the room and you look right through me
Bb
Playing it cool like you never even knew me
F                Am
Straight into her gaze you know just what your doing
Bb
Don’t you?
  F              Am
She runs into your arms and you hold her close
    Bb
While I take a step back and watch the whole show

    F
But the curtain never falls
    Am
And the film still rolls
  Bb
And I hold back the things I’ll never
F         Am         Bb
say because she’s great like you handmade her
  F       Am       Bb
And I simply blend in with the wallpaper


Verse 2:
  F        Am    Bb
I’m getting close to 21, but I still can’t get over 18
F       Am      Bb
How can you expect me to forget the single thing that saved me
F
Yeah it’s done
Am
We had our fun
  Bb
But that can’t pull me from the daydream
F        Am       Bb
Kinda wish that it was me your smiling at right now


Pre-chorus:
    F             Am
But you breeze on past like she’s all you know
  Bb
I’m dead to you and it clearly shows
    F         Am       Bb
I could disappear and you wouldn’t notice anyways
      F           Am
'Cause you grab her hand and you pull her close
    Bb
While I take a step back and watch the whole show

    F
But the curtain never falls
    Am
And the film still rolls
  Bb
And I hold back the things I’ll never
F         Am         Bb
say because she’s great like you handmade her
  F       Am       Bb
And I simply blend in with the wallpaper


Bridge:
F       Am
Maybe I’m just too outdated
Bb
Peeling corners colors faded
F     Am         Bb
Obviously she looks fresh and new
  F        Am
But tell me would it even matter to
Bb
strip the color change the pattern
F        Am       Bb
Would I then be good enough for you?
F      Am      Bb
Could I ever be enough for you?


Outro:
  F             Am
You walk into the room and my hands go numb
 Bb
I feel the air slip from my lungs
  F           Am
You look the same as when we were young
  Bb
But we’re not young anymore
  F           Am
You scan the room while I stare at the floor
    Bb
'Cause it’s not me that you’re looking for
   F        Am        Bb
It’s clear she offers so much more than all I have to give
   F        Am       Bb
She’s perfect like you practically handmade her
    F        Am          Bb
'Cause what we had was great but that seems greater
F         Am        Bb
I’ll simply stay a piece of your wallpaper
