Intro: Am C Fmaj9 C Cmaj9
I was [Am]floating across the dance floor,
I was [C]trying to think of something to say,
When i[Fmaj9] went up to your girlfriends and pulled you awa[C]y.[Cmaj9]
Melody played over the last C chords of the verse
[Am]You were so perfectly pretty,
[C]I could love every mistake.
Fmaj9 C Cmaj9 (Melody again)
At the end of the night, i asked you your name.
You said "[F]Laura" - i couldn't [Am]ignore it.
The name of my [G]old love keeps fucking [Dm]me up
But on [F]paper[Am], i could [G]write it out for you.
On [F]paper[Am], i could [G]draw you a picture.
On [F]paper[Am], i could [G]finish any story with [Dm]any ending you [F]please.
I [Am]saw you in a dream in the morning,
It's the [C]only time i can remember.
You were [Fmaj9]sitting at my kitchen table with no makeup on[C].[Cmaj9]
If [Am]i flew in through the front door,
[C]You were so happy to see it,
And you were [Fmaj9]telling me about everything you saw on to[C]ur.[Cmaj9]
And i said "[F]know this - i'll listen to your r[Am]ecords,
i'll keep you in my [G]head."
[Dm]Shit you've probably got a boyfriend
But on [F]paper[Am], i could [G]write it out for you.
