Paper Walls

<br>Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up<br>After ten hours on the bus.<br>I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby,<br>Trying not to think about us.<br>But then someone in a room five-oh two<br>started doing the thing that we used to do.<br>Every bang, every boom,<br>It was just like it was happening in my own room.<br><br><br>(CHORUS)<br>`Cause they`ve got paper walls, paper walls,<br>Paper walls... ooh, yeah.<br><br>I closed the curtain, I shut the light,<br>I heard the highway moan.<br>Next thing I remember they were having a fight,<br>And then, she was all alone.<br>I heard her cry in the darkest hour,<br>I heard it echo in the hotel shower,<br>I heard her start packing her things, so,<br>I called her number and I heard it ring...<br><br><br>(CHORUS)<br>Right through the paper walls, paper walls,<br>Paper walls, oooh yeah, now.<br><br>(INSTRUMENTAL SOLO - Over first part of Verse 3)<br><br>I`ve never seen such a sight before,<br>The way she looked when she opened the door.<br>Hush now baby don`t make a sound,<br>When all your love comes a-tumblin` down...<br><br><br>(CHORUS)<br>Just like a paper wall, paper wall,<br>Paper wall, Ooh just like a paper wall.<br><br><br>(REPEAT AND FADE)<br>It ain`t the road that kills you, baby,<br><br>It`s the all night calls;<br><br>It ain`t the road that kills you, baby,<br><br>It`s just the paper walls
