[Verse 1]
D
 I see you at the windowsill
    Bm                      A
The rain it won't stop, the air is so chill
D
 I never heard the words you said
     Bm                          A
The phone, it can't ring if the heart is dead
D
 You carry ‘round your box of glass
      Bm                        A
With wounds so sharp that they cut too fast
D
 Runnin' when the sky comes down
  Bm                          A
Growin' more cracks when you can't be found, yeah

[Chorus]
   G
I took your heart, and made it mine
 A
Do my best to justify it
Bm
 Call it pleasure but it feels like pain
A
 So how'd we let it get this way?
       G
Your broken heart was just like mine
    A
We built these walls and hid inside 'em
Bm
 I said I wouldn't let you in
A                      N.C.
 And now you know I'm paper-thin


[Post-Chorus]
|G |A |Bm |

A                                 G   A   Bm
 And now you know I'm paper-thin
A                                D
 And now you know I'm paper-thin

[Verse 2]
D
 Maybe I'll just let you down
     Bm                       A
But look at those eyes, I'm thinkin' too loud
D
 Maybe I'll just bide my time
     Bm                 A
So when it feels right, you can be mine, yeah
D
 Didn't know I'd be so late
  Bm                 A
Drinking all night, numbing that shame
D
 Guessing I'll be careful now
     Bm                      A
I'm holding your past, I'll carry you out


[Chorus]
   G
I took your heart, and made it mine
 A
Do my best to justify it
Bm
 Call it pleasure but it feels like pain
A
 So how'd we let it get this way?
       G
Your broken heart was just like mine
    A
We built these walls and hid inside 'em
Bm
 I said I wouldn't let you in
A                      N.C.
 And now you know I'm paper-thin


[Post-Chorus]
|G |A |Bm |

A                                 G   A   Bm
 And now you know I'm paper-thin
A
 And now you know I'm paper-thin


[Outro]
G
 Don't lie to us, don't lie to us
A
 Don't hide from us
            Bm
Or anything, or anyone
                     D
It will make me spin, and now you know I'm paper-thin
G
 Don't lie to us, don't lie to us
A
 Don't hide from us
            Bm
Or anything, or anyone
                     D
It will make me spin, and now you know I'm paper-thin
G
 Don't lie to us, don't lie to us
A
 Don't hide from us
            Bm
Or anything, or anyone
                     D
It will make me spin, and now you know I'm paper-thin
