Paper Airplanes Makeshift Wings

Intro 
C  Dm 


 
A#                                                 Dm 
Raise high monolithic statues, so fragile as they fall 
Dm 
I am ever enthralled 
A#                                                         Dm 
Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well 
Dm 
'Til fashion is dispelled 
 

 
   A#      C        Dm                C 
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion 
     A#           C        Dm            C 
You're going out, going out, forever unknown 
   A#      C        Dm                C 
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion 
     A#           C        Dm            C 
You're going out, going out forever unknown, unknown 
 

 
Dm     F   A#        Gm        Dm 
From above, a rain of ashes descends 
     C        A# 
Like anathema, I will remain, forever will remain 
Dm     F   A#        Gm 
From below, in my seclusion 
     Dm       C        A# 
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn 
 

 
A#                                           Dm 
Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside 
Dm 
No life, but nothing's died 
A# 
No lights, but quite the show 
A#                             Dm 
Just as long as no one ever knows 
Dm 
All motion is pantomime 
 

 
   A#      C        Dm                C 
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion 
     A#           C        Dm            C 
You're going out, going out, forever unknown 
   A#      C        Dm                C 
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion 
     A#           C        Dm            C 
You're going out, going out forever unknown, unknown 
 

 
Dm     F   A#        Gm        Dm 
From above, a rain of ashes descends 
     C        A# 
Like anathema, I will remain, forever will remain 
Dm     F   A#        Gm 
From below, in my seclusion 
     Dm       C        A# 
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn 
 

 
Dm Am 

(Tried my best to get the rhythm right here, but it's a little complicated. Alternatively you can play 
Dm constantly if this isn't intuitive.) 
 

 
Dm                   Am 
Dancing in the rain of descending ash 
        Dm                          Am        Dm 
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling 
Dm                   Am 
Dancing in the rain of descending ash 
        Dm                          Am        Dm 
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling 


(G major and G minor both sound good here, but G major sounds slightly better to me personally.) 
 

 
A#           F         G   D   Dsus   D 
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart) 
A#           F         G   D   Dsus   Asus 
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
