[Intro]
D# D#7 A#m
[Verse]
D# D#7 A#m
Just like a paper tiger
D# D#7 A#m
Torn apart by idle hands

Through the helter skelter morning

Fix yourself while you still can

All the laws of creation

Tell a dead man how to die
[Chorus]

O deserts down below us

And storms up above

Like a stray dog gone defective

Like a paper tiger in the sun
[Verse]
D# D#7 A#m
Looking through a broken diamond
D# D#7 A#m
To make the past what it should be

Through the ruins and the weather
D# D#7 A#m
Capsized boats in the sea
[Chorus]
D# B G#
O deserts down below us
D# B G#
And storms up above
D# B G#
Like a stray dog gone defective
D# G# F# C# D#
Like a paper tiger in the sun
[Bridge]
D# D#7 A#m
We're just holding on to nothing
D# D#7 A#m
To see how long nothing lasts
[Chorus]
D# B G#
O deserts down below us
D# B G#
And storms up above
D# B G#
Like a stray dog gone defective
D# G# F# C# D#
Like a paper tiger in the sun
[Verse]
D# D#7 A#m
There's one road to the morning
D# D#7 A#m
There's one road to the truth
D# D#7 A#m
There's one road back to civilization
D# D#7 A#m
But there's no road back to you....
