PAPER HEART - David Cook
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Claire

Tuning: Standard
From the live recordings that have been released thus far, the electric guitar is
very clear so I think the tab is accurate. The chords are pretty close. They sound
fine to me. (I watched David's fingers closely in the videos, but lefties throw me
off) This is the best I got! Enjoy! :)

VERSE:
A# G#m *A# A#
I can feel in the evening air all the words I want to say
G#m *A# A#
But I can tell as you turn to leave that they wouldn’t make you stay
G#m *A# A#
Overhead the lights come on and suddenly I see
G#m *A# A#
That glow is gonna guide you home wherever that may be
CHORUS:
A# G#m *A# A#
What use is a paper heart, when you’re stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain
G#m *A# D#m
‘Cause all the love that I hold inside; feel it washin’ away, washin’ away
*A# G#m A#
Let it fall, take it all, ’cause I’m so tired of feelin’ everything
G#m *A# A#
So damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain
VERSE:
I could watch as you fade away, but I hold on to the pain
In these arms that just let you go; on these lips that said your name
Couldn’t know it would hurt this hard to hear you close that door
So punch a hole in my paper heart ’cause I don’t need it anymore
CHORUS:
What use is a paper heart, when you’re stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain
‘Cause all the love that I hold inside; feel it washin’ away, washin’ away
Let it fall, take it all, ’cause I’m so tired of feelin’ everything
*A# D#m
So damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain
