Intro:
D MajorD F# minorF#m B minorBm G+G


Verse 1:
       D MajorD
Paper Mache houses
          F# minorF#m
Build them up with nothing else
         B minorBm
Tell me what the sound is
        G+G
Telephone keeps ringing out

         D MajorD
Heard them in the next room
          F# minorF#m
I don't know whose side was wrong
        B minorBm
Really hope it stops soon
          G+G
Or someone turn the TV on

        D MajorD
Talking to your best friend
        F# minorF#m
Never knew your middle name
        B minorBm
Stay until the show ends
           G+G
Or at least until the latest train

            D MajorD
Held the bottle like a baby
          F# minorF#m
Protect it 'til we get back home
        B minorBm
Drink up on the rooftops
           G+G
And wonder where the city's gone


Chorus:
G+G
Wake up, wake up, wake up
           B minorBm
Why don't you take a little time to breathe it in?
G+G
Don't try to tame the sun
           B minorBm
But you could try to feel it on your skin

G+G                  B minorBm
I could've let the whole world just hold me back
G+G                 B minorBm
I'm steady making choices from the life I had
A augmentedA
Can we just talk about it?
A augmentedA
I know that we could work this out

Instrumental:
D MajorD F# minorF#m B minorBm G+G


Verse 2:
        D MajorD
Talk around in circles
        F# minorF#m
Speak until we both get tired
        B minorBm
Look up at the streetlights
          G+G
And wonder how the wold's wired

         D MajorD
Pressure makes me sleepy
          F# minorF#m
Avoid the stuff at every cost
        B minorBm
Wind up at the same spot
         G+G
And relish in the time we lost


Chorus:
G+G
Wake up, wake up, wake up
B minorBm
Why don't don't you take a little time to breathe it in?
G+G
Don't try to tame the sun
B minorBm
But you could try to feel it on your skin

G+G                  B minorBm
I could've let the whole world just hold me back
G+G                 B minorBm
I'm steady making choices from the life I had
A augmentedA
Can we just talk about it?
A augmentedA               E minorEm
I know that we could work this out

In paper Mache houses

Tell me what the sound is
        G+G
Telephone keeps ringing out
