C C7 Gm
Just like a paper tiger

Torn apart by idle hands

Through the helter skelter morning

Capsized boats in the sea

We're just holding on to nothing

To see how long nothing lasts

O deserts down below us
C G# F
And storms up above
C G# F
Like a stray dog gone defective
C F D# A# C
Like a paper tiger in the sun
[Verse]
C C7 Gm
There's one road to the morning
C C7 Gm
There's one road to the truth
C C7 Gm
There's one road back to civilization
C C7 Gm
But there's no road back to you....
