                         PAPER HEART - David Cook
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Claire
Email: xrocknrollchicx@yahoo.com
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# (x1333x@1)          G#m (133111@4)                       *A#           A# (x1333x@1)   I can feel in the evening air all the words I want to say
              G#m (133111@4)                           *A#           A#But (x1333x@1)I can tell as you turn to leave that they wouldn't make you stay
              G#m (133111@4)               *A#    A#Overhead (x1333x@1)the lights come on and suddenly I see
               G#m (133111@4)    *A#             A#That (x1333x@1)glow is gonna guide you home wherever that may be

A# (x1333x@1)     G#m (133111@4)                          *A#                 A#What (x1333x@1)use is a paper heart, when you're stuck in the rain, stuck in the rain
		    G#m (133111@4)	         *A#		D#m'Cause (xx4342@1)all the love that I hold inside; feel it washin' away, washin' away
         		             *A#                  G#m (133111@4) A#Let (x1333x@1)it fall, take it all, 'cause I'm so tired of feelin' everything
	   G#m (133111@4)	      *A#	A#So (x1333x@1)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#mSo (xx4342@1)damn me and my paper heart in this pouring rain
