Put your hands on the wheel

Let the golden age begin

Let the window down

Feel the moonlight on your skin

Let the desert wind

Cool your aching head

let the weight of the world
F# C# D#m F#
Drift away instead

There's distant lights

But here they're far and few
C# D#m
And the sun don't shine
F# C# D#m F#
Even when it's day
C# D#m
You gotta drive all night
F# C# D#m F#
Just to feel like you're OK
[Chorus]

[Intro]
C# C#7 G#m
[Verse]
C# C#7 G#m
Just like a paper tiger

Torn apart by idle hands

Through the helter skelter morning

Fix yourself while you still can

All the laws of creation

And storms up above

Like a stray dog gone defective

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

Through the ruins and the weather

Capsized boats in the sea
[Chorus]

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