verse 1: 
G/B               C             D 
   Well I've been huddled up alone 
                        
By the fire even though 
G/B          C             G   D 
   I'm not exactly feeling cold 
G/B                 C               D 
   And I've been bundled up for days 
                          
Too confused to be amazed 
G/B           C         G     D 
   At all the icy water in my veins 


Pre-Chorus 
C  G/B  D                   C  Em  D 
         Why do I feel so alone? 


verse 2: 
G/B               C              D 
   Yeah I've been moving in and out 

Of this old split-level house 
G/B             C                G           D 
   And I?d just as soon burn the whole place down 
G/B              C              D 
   ?Cause I quit working lumberyards 

To build a mansion out of cards 
Am           C                 G     D      
  But I feel thin behind these paper walls 


Pre-Chorus 
C  G/B  D                   C   Em  D 
         Why do I feel so alone? 

G D Cause the angriest bark Am C Is always worse than the bite G D Like the ache in my chest F C That my heart didn?t invite G D But if the prettiest romance Am C Isn?t perfectly right Am G/B That makes every love lost C D Just a holiday every night
Interlude (x2): G Am G/B C G Am C D verse 3: G/B C D Well I've been painting through the night In the basement out of sight G/B C G D Brushing paper tigers black and white G/B C D ?Cause come tomorrow afternoon I?ll fill a helium balloon Am C G D And set them free into the baby blue sky Pre-Chorus C G/B D C Em D So they won?t have to be alone Chorus Bridge: F C G D But when I close these heavy lids after dark F C Each sweet dream is a target D Em C D And all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark
G D Cause the angriest bark Am C Is always worse than the bite G D Like the ache in my chest F C That my heart didn?t invite G D But if the prettiest romance Am C Isn?t perfectly right Am G/B That makes every love lost C D Just a holiday every night Am G/B C D Just a holiday every night Am G/B C D Just a holiday every night
Interlude (x2): G Am G/B C G Am C D Just a holiday every night G Am G/B C G Am C D Ending: G/B C D Well I've been huddled up alone By the fire even though G/B C G D I'm not exactly feeling cold G/B C D But how my heartache hit the trail When a paper tiger tail Am C G D Fluttered down, I guess I?ll never know
