Paper Trails Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CI've goGne as far aAms I can go

 The reFst you muGst do alCone

 With your paFnts around your knGees

 You said "doCn't leave me pleA7ase"

 But thFis is as fGar as I can gCo

 And sCo I sGwivel on myAm heel

 And soFon the greGen becomes the gCrey

 Now that my sisFter's cleaned my Gcar

 I can depCart from where you aA7re

 I never liFked the country anyway

 The birds, they stCeal things frGom my slFeep

 They sing the pFromisGes I couldn't keCep

CLast night I drGeamed my alphabAmet

 Out of my voFice, all pGretty plastic shCapes

 MFuted microphoGnes

 Turned in my haCnds to ice cream coA7nes

 And the siFlence was all syrupy, all candy, tarts and cake

 The sCad curl and shGine of baby spFit

 And a secFret trail that leGaves beyond a Ctick

 Oh, the sCad curl and sGmear of baby sFpit

 I said "yFes" but I did nGot agree to tChis

 Last nCight I dreGamed of paper trAmails

 Dolls without facFes joined infGinitely with fiCngerless armS

FBlank as the air was dGead and sound is chaCsing the stillness aA7ll around

 IsF choking the vibrations

FBeady little tales of sewing neeCdles and a bGall of stFring

 Tear them aFpa- aaGrt and make them siCng

 Of sewing neeCdles and bGall of striFng

 My useless FhearGt, a wedding riCng

 ApCologies are boGring and they're tAmrite

 But if deFsired, I will sGee what I can fCind

 As sFoon as the concrete coGmes into view

 PCencil to paper we'll mA7ove for you

FSqueeze our time together to lines and lines and lines of fifty words

FAcross the page

 BFig decision all contGained in a phAmrase

 I know I prComised Gyou all alAmong

 Forgive me plFeaseG, for I canCnot
