C#, Ab
[Verse 1]
C#
Baby, don't yell,
BEAb
You're tearing a hole right through the walls of everything we used to know,
C#BE
I'm building a place, something amazing,
AbC#
Just for the sake of saving us,
B
From under the sun,
EAb
Two plastic hearts with nowhere to run,
C#B
We're rolling the dice on whatever's left,
E (Absus4, Ab, Absus4) Ab
'Cause God only knows that we could use the rest...
[Chorus]
(Ab) AEBC#m
Me and yo-ou, living under a paper moon,
AEAb
Cause real life just isn't right; lets fabricate
AEBC#m
Me and yo-ou, living under a paper moon,
AEAb
This real life just isn't right let's get away let's fabricate.
[Verse 2]
C#
Baby, don't fret,
BE
At least we're alive with just enough breath
AbC#
To truly despise the hills in the carpet,
BEAb
Knots in the ties that bind us so tightly to our waking lives,
C#B
I'll build up a house, I'll build up an army
EAb
Of cellophane soliders cheap origami,
C#B
To take back a piece or whatever's left
E (Absus4, Ab, Absus4) Ab
Of that little box that beats in your chest
[Chorus]
(Ab) AEBC#m
Me and yo-ou, living under a paper moon,
AEAb
Cause real life just isn't right; lets fabricate
AEBC#m
Me and yo-ou, living under a paper moon,
AEAb
This real life just isn't right let's get away let's fabricate.
[Bridge]
C#mC#B
I'm building a place,
EAbC#
Something amazing just for the sake of saving us,
BEAbsus4
And whatever's left of that little box that beats in your chest
[Chorus]
(Ab) AEBC#m
Me and yo-ou, living under a paper moon,
AEAb
Cause real life just isn't right; lets fabricate
AEBC#m
Me and yo-ou, living under a paper moon,
AEAb
This real life just isn't right let's get away.
AEAb
This real life, just isn't right, let's fabricate
