Paperweight

by Joshua Radin

Edit

I've made changed a few lines of melody in order to avoid bends. 

 5   5   5   -5      4  -4  5   5
Been up all nightS star-ing at you

 5  -4   4    4    -4  5    -4
Won-der-ing what's on your mind

  5   5    5   -5   4   4  4  -4 -4  5
I've been this way with so ma-ny be-fore

 -4    5   -4   -3    4    -4
This feels like the first time




-6   6    -5  6   4
You want the sun-rise

4   4   -4 -4
Go back to bed

-6  6  -5  6   -6   -6
 I wan-na make you laugh




 7   -7 6   5   7   -5
Mess up my bed with me

 7    7   6  -6  5     5  -6 6
Kick off the co-vers. Lay back.
 
7   -8 -8 7  7   7  7   8   8   -8    -6    6
Ev-'ry word you say I think I should write down

 -8    -8  6   6   6   6   -6   7
Don't want to for-get come day-ight




 4  4  4  -4   3   (Correct would be 3 3 3 -3' 2)
Hap-py to lay here

-3  -3 -3 4   2
Hap-py to be here

 4  4  4   4   -4  (Correct would be 3 3 3 3 -3')
Hap-py to know you



 5   5  5  -5     4   -4   5  5
Play me a song.  Your new-est one

  5     -4    4     4   -4 5   -4
Please leave your taste on my tongue

-6 -6    6    -5 -5  5
Pa-per-weight on my back

-6 -6  6   4   4  6    4
Co-ver me like a blan-ket



Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers and lay back
Every word you say I think I should write down
Don't want to forget come day light



(-2  -2'-2   -2'-2  -3' is correct, I think.)
  4  -4  4   -3  4  -4  
 And no need to wor-ry 

  4     6    7   -6
That's wast-ing time

(-2  -2'-2   -2'-2  -3' is correct, I think.)
  4  -4  4   -3  4  -4  
 And no need to won-der 

  4    6  7  -6
What's on my mind

 -6   6     6    6     6   -6
It's you.  It's you.  It's you




Every word you say I think I should write down
Don't want to forget come day light


7  -8  -8  7  7  7 -6  -6
I give up. I let  you  win

 7   7     6    6   6   -6    5
You win 'cause I'm not count-ing

 5   5   5   -5  -4  -4  -4  5
You made it back to sleep a-gain

 5  -4   4     -3     4   -4
Won-der what you're dream-ing
