[Intro]
Gm7

[Verse 1]
Gm
Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up
F Eb
After ten hours on the bus
Gm
I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby
F Eb
Trying not to think about us
Cm Ab
But then someone in a room five-oh two
Bb
Started doing the thing that we used to do
Cm Ab
Every bang, every boom
C7 N.C.
It was just like it was happening in my own room

[Chorus]
N.C. Gm
'Cause they've got paper walls,
Gm/F F Eb
Paper walls
Gm Gm/F F Eb
Paper walls... ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Gm
I closed the curtain, I shut the light
F Eb
I heard the highway moan
Gm
Next thing I remember they were having a fight
F Eb
And then, she was all alone
Cm Ab
I heard her cry in the darkest hour
Bb
I heard it echo in the hotel shower
Cm Ab
I heard her start packing her things, so
C7 N.C.
I called her number and I heard it ring...

[Chorus]
N.C. Gm
Right through the paper walls,
Gm/F F Eb
Paper walls
