A E A E Small paper cranes and wallpaper stains A F# B that the pictures can hardly conceal A E A E Love letters bent from tears that were spent F#m B on a cruel and a shabby ideal [Chorus] A E A E But love set fire to everything A F# B and the flames looked like angel's wings A E C E We played our parts with paper hearts F#m C E and love set fire to everything. [Verse 2] A E A E I know that it's wrong to stay here this long A F# B haunted by all of her things A E A E I found out too late only fools feel safe F#m B in a house made of jokers and kings [Chorus] A E A E But love set fire to everything A F# B and the flames looked like angel's wings A E C E We played our parts with paper hearts F#m C E and love set fire to everything. [Instrumental] F#m D A E F#m D E F#m D A E D D/C# B [Verse 3] A E A E I've tried to escape her and these bits of paper A F# B but the memories I just can't outrun A E A E So I'll keep lighting matches and when one of them catches F#m B this thing will finally be done [Chorus] A E A E But love set fire to everything A F# B and the flames looked like angel's wings A E C E We played our parts with paper hearts F#m C E and love set fire to everything.
