Just like a paper tiger

Torn apart by idle hands

We're just holding on to nothing
F# F#7 C#m
To see how long nothing lasts

O deserts down below us

And storms up above
F# D B
Like a stray dog gone defective
F# B A E F#
Like a paper tiger in the sun
[Verse]
F# F#7 C#m
There's one road to the morning
F# F#7 C#m
There's one road to the truth
F# F#7 C#m
There's one road back to civilization
F# F#7 C#m
But there's no road back to you....
