Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]When they gave you roses
and believed your wild excuses
You were [F]sealing the [C]deal
Halfway down the road and ain't it
Funny how the ghosts,
they fade and [A]suddenly ap[E]pear

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F]You went too far[D]
Oh, woman, now you're [C]feeling the [F]fear

[Chorus 1]
'Cause you've never been alone be[C]fore, oh
[F]And the wolf is at the doo[C]r, oh
[F]Now it's better if you hol[C]d your breath
and [E]don't look [F]down
At the [D]pages of your [F]paper [C]crown[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]You reached out for more
And as the waves hit at the shore you felt
The [F]fading of your [C]will
Choke back the matter from
The bottom of the ladder ask me
[A]If I love you [E]still

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F]You went too far[D]
Oh, woman, now you're [C]feeling the [F]fear

[Chorus 2]
'Cause you've never been alone be[C]fore, oh
[F]And the wolf is at the doo[C]r, oh
[F]And the hounds of hell,
they [C]won't [E]lie [F]down
On the [D]ashes of your [F]paper [C]crown

[Bridge 1]
[G]In the bright light of the sun[F]
Will you make sure every[C]one
Could [Bb]see your f[Am]ace?
[G]You make fun of everyone who fal[F]ls
But meantime they were
[C]saving [Bb]you a p[Am]lace[D]
'Cause you've [F]never been alone before,

[Chorus 3]
[C]oh
[F]And the wolf is at the doo[C]r, oh
[F]And the talking heads
don't [C]make [E]a s[F]ound
At the [D]aging of your [F]paper [C]crown

[Outro 1]
[D]Better if you don't look [F]down
At the [D]pages of your [F]paper [C]crown
