Paper Airplane

C#m               B'       B''                   A 
I've put it all behind me, nothing left to do or doubt 
F#m  C#m  B'' 
Some may say 
C#m              B'     B''                    A 
But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud 
F#m   C#m     B'' 
That comes my way 
C#m         B'      B''            A 
Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain 
F#m C#m      B'' 
No  choice I feel 
C#m             B'      B''            A 
Love is hard to measure, hidden in the rain 
F#m    C#m      B' 
That's why you'll find me 
 
E        C#m             F#m 
Here all alone and still wondering why 
A                     B' 
Waitin inside for the cold to get colder 
E                   C#m             F#m 
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time 
A'                 B'''        Ab7  C#m 
Hopin to fly cause it's almost over now

C#m         B'        B''                 A 
People come together, people go their own way 
F#m  C#m      B' 
Love conquers few 
C#m         B'       B''                     A 
And I'll do whatever I'll say what I need to say 
F#m  C#m     B' 
Just not for you 
 
E        C#m           F#m 
How many days should I smile with a frown? 
     A                          B' 
'Cos you're not around with the sun on your shoulders 
E            C#m           F#m 
And how many nights must I wake up alone 
    A                    B'''        Ab7  C#m 
And know in my soul that it's almost over now? 
 
*slide guitar solo* 
chord sequence as per verse (once through) except resolves to E at end before going 
back to the first C#m of next verse 
 
 
more gentle, preparing for pause on second line 
 
 
C#m                  B' 
Love is like a paper airplane 
B''                 A 
                         pause 
Flyin in the folded dent 
F#m   C#m         B'' 
Ridin high dippin low 
C#m              B' 
But innocence is fair game 
B''             Ab7     C#m 
I'm hopin I can hold it in 
F#m           C#m   B    ...E... 
Our love will die I know
