E (E7) Bm Just like a paper tiger Torn apart by idle hands Through the helter skelter morning Fix yourself while you still can No more ashes to ashes No more cinders from the sky All the laws of creation Tell a dead man how to dieVerse E (E7) Bm Looking through a broken diamond To make the past what it should be Through the ruins and the weather Capsized boats in the seaE C A O deserts down below us E C A And storms up above E C A Like a stray dog gone defective E A G E Like a paper tiger in the sunE (E7) Bm We're just holding on to nothing To see how long nothing lastsE C A O deserts down below us E C A And storms up above E C A Like a stray dog gone defective E A G E Like a paper tiger in the sunE (E7) Bm There's one road to the morning There's one road to the truth There's one road back to civilization But there's no road back to you....E C A O deserts down below us E C A And storms up above E C A Like a stray dog gone defective E A G E Like a paper tiger in the sun
