Artist: Niall Horan Song: Paper Houses Album: Flicker Tabbed by: Matty Sievers This boy is on fire! One of my faves to come ouf ot the Flicker Sessions. I'm not that great with melody so not to sure of the picking pattern but I will try and see what I come up with. Other than that, Intro and Verse is just C#m and B5 for (2) beats, E for a bar and then whenever it says A that's also one bar. Everywhere else you cna go off his lyrics which should be correct. In fact, folloiwng the lyrics will be easiest here. Capo on 4th (transpose down 4) for C fingering postion if that's easier for you but Niall plays open. [Chords Used]

Capo 4th:
      Am    G     C     F  OR F/C (easier)

[Intro] N.C One, Two, Three, Four C#m B5 E C#m B5 E C#m B5 E Asus2 [Verse 1]

C#m B5   E
In  this house

   C#m B5  E
Of bro-ken hearts

   C#m  B5  E
We made our love

               Asus2
From stacks of cards and

C#m  B5 E
Yes, we tried

   C#m  B5 E
To hold on tight, 'cause

   C#m B5  E
We knew our love

            Asus2
Was hard to find

[Chorus]

        C#m   B5
And our paper houses

          E    B5
Reach the stars

       C#m         B5
Till we break and scatter

        E   B5
Worlds apart

        C#m      B5       
Yeah, I paid the price and

        A    B5
own the scars

          Asus2   B5
Why do we climb

            C#m    B5   E
And fall so far

C#m B5 E [Verse 2]

    C#m  B5  E
We  held our cards

   C#m   B5   E
We built them high

    C#m B5 E
But way to close

       Asus2
To the light

     C#m  B5   E
So I turn your head

    C#m B5 E
And let us go

  C#m     B5 E
I learned to breathe

      Asus2
On my own

[Chorus]

        C#m   B
And our paper houses

          E    B5
Reach the stars

       C#m         B5
Till we break and scatter

        E   B5
Worlds apart

        C#m      B5       
Yeah, I paid the price and

        Asus2    B5
own the scars

          C#m   B5
Why do we climb

            C#m    B5   E
And fall so far

C#m B5 E [Bridge] C#m B5 E Asus2

          C#m   B
Yeah, our paper houses

          E
Reach the stars

       C#m       B5
Til we break and scatter

        E
Worlds apart

E              B5
 I don't wanna lose your touch

E              B
 I don't wanna hurt this much

C#m             B5      C#m  E
 I can feel it slipping away

[Chorus 3]

       C#m      B5       
Yeah, I paid the price and

        Asus2    B5
own the scars

          Asus2     B5
Why do we climb

            C#m    B5   E
And fall so far

C#m B5 E [Outro]

          Asus2     B5
Why do we climb

           E
To fall so far
