[Verse 1]
Em             ( G )        A      Em            ( G )         A
  Now we're staring at the ceiling,  you're so pretty when you're mad
Em          ( G )      A            C  C - Bm - G - A
  All that I can hear is breathing, oh, oh
Em                ( G )       A       Em        ( G )   A
   And we're stuck inside the silence, in a cold, cold world
Em                ( G )         A      C  C - Bm - G - A
   We're too proud to say we're sorry, oh, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
Em        ( G ) A                      Em    ( G ) A
   Right now it feels like we're bleeding So deep that we might not get back up
Em        ( G )  A                        C             C - Bm - G - A
  Our words will tear through the surface Like a paper, like a papercut
Em         ( G )     A                  Em    ( G ) A
  Right now, I don't know why I love you But by the morning when we wake up
Em          ( G ) A                       C             C - Bm - G - A
   I'll reach for you and remember It was just a paper, just a papercut
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em       ( G )      A           Em           ( G )    A
   I find refuge in the distance, even when we're breaking down
Em            ( G )    A             C  C - Bm - G - A
  Can we pause it just for one kiss? Oh, oh
Em         ( G )      A          Em          ( G )     A
  Cause I never meant to hurt you, and I know you feel the same
Em           ( G )  A          C  C - Bm - G - A
  Still the only one I run to, oh, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
Em        ( G ) A                      Em    ( G ) A
   Right now it feels like we're bleeding So deep that we might not get back up
Em        ( G )  A                        C             C - Bm - G - A
  Our words will tear through the surface Like a paper, like a papercut
Em         ( G )     A                  Em    ( G ) A
  Right now, I don't know why I love you But by the morning when we wake up
Em          ( G ) A                       C             C - Bm - G - A
   I'll reach for you and remember It was just a paper, just a papercut
