Paper Mansions chords by Dottie West

Verse 1:

D                     G     A
Don't build for me no paper man-sions

                             D
That only stand until you've gone

                 C      G    A  E
You've paint the nicest futures of anyone I know

    A                          D         G          A
You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow

       D       C        B7
You've built a thousand mansions

       E
Out of dreams that seemed so strong

            A                           D
But they're always made of paper not of stone


Chorus:

                      G     A
Don't build for me no paper man-sion

                         D
That I can never call my own

                       G     A
For love can't live in paper man-sions

                             D
That only stand until you've gone


Bridge:
D    A      G  D


Verse 2:

              C      B7               E
You've always been a dreamer dear and I'm a dreamer too

      A                              D         G          A
But I guess I've had too many of the kind that don't come true

   D           C     B7           E
So don't build me no mansion with paper walls so thin

     A                           D
That only stand until you leave again


Chorus:

                      G     A
Don't build for me no paper man-sion

                         D
That I can never call my own

                       G     A
For love can't live in paper man-sions

                             D
That only stand until you've gone
