Paint - The Paper Kites
Capo: Fret 2
Tuning: , D A D G B E
Artist: The Paper Kites
Title: Paint
Tuning: Drop D
Capo: 2nd Fret
PS: If you want to avoid downtuning to Drop-D, all you have to do is put the capo on the 2nd fret while
covering strings 5 through 1, ie ie leaving the E string open.
PSS: Whereas the strings 2-5 are tabbed out relative to the capo on the 2nd fret, I'm tabbing the 6th string
relative to its open position, which means that wether you downtune to Drop D or just leave the 6th string
uncovered by the capo, the positioning will alway be the same.

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
We were tryi
ng, but we're
trying no more
It's cold on t
he floor, cold
on the floor
This house h
as never been
the same as be
fore
It's never fel
t warm, never
felt warm
There's some
thing moving t
hrough the win
dows and walls
I've seen it b
efore, seen it
before
You left me
living with a
lingering soul
How little you
know, how lit
tle you know
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
We were stan
ding at the fo
ot of a path
I had to go ba
ck, had to go
back
I chose to t
ravel as a lon
ely man
So much that I
lacked, so mu
ch that I lack
ed
I'm always w
ishing I was w
alking that ro
ad
It's something
I hold, somet
hing I hold
I take it wi
th me all the
places I go
How little you
know, how lit
tle you know
[Interlude]
*
[Chorus]
I only eat to
fill me up
I only sleep t
o rest
I need a love
just like you
gave
I haven't foun
d it yet, foun
d it yet
[Verse 3]
See where I
am is where I'
m wanting to b
e
I know what I
need, know wha
t I need
And there ar
e many differe
nt places to s
ee
I know how to
dream, know ho
w to dream
Still there'
s a wound and
I'm moving slo
w
Though it don'
t show, though
it don't show
I've got a h
ole where noth
ing grows
How little you
know little y
ou know
[Interlude]
*
[Chorus]
I only eat to
fill me up
I only sleep t
o rest
I need a love
just like you
gave
I haven't foun
d it yet, foun
d it yet
[Verse 4]
Maybe we'd m
arry and we'd
work it out fi
ne
In some other
time, in some
other time
And we are h
appy when I'm
walking that l
ine
It's all in my
mind, all in
my mind
I paint the
ceiling so tha
t nobody knows
I cover it slo
w, cover it sl
ow
It's like yo
u've never eve
n met me befor
e
How little I s
how, how littl
e I show
How little I s
how, little I
show
