Paper Chase

	  		D             A       G             D 
You can't erase the Paper Chase 
G                     D 
She'll make you play it 
         G                   A 
In the bright merry morning 
D                   A 
She'll run and hide 
G                            D 
And leave you the paper promises 
Em                D             G              A 
Behind her as she runs across the square 


D                        A        G               D 
You can't win the race, She'll set the pace 
G                       D 
You will hear her laughing 
       G                        A 
Just behind the foolish fences 
D                     A           G 
Throw back the gate and find the 
             D       Em              D 
Piece of paper lying on the curbstone, 
          G                    A 
But the lady won't be there. 

G                D 
Later in the day, 
G                                 C 
You'll be searching for a way 
F                                D 
To let her know you're ready 
G                              C 
For her little game to end 
F                               D 
Cause it's getting dark, and then- 






D                  A       G              D 
You'll see her face, a glimpse of lace 
G                 D 
And you'll go running 
                 G                        A                              
Through the last sweet dying daydream 
D              A          G                              D 
Calling her name, but she's been home an hour, 
Em                    D 
Laughing at the mirror 
          G                       A 
As she combs her paper hair.
