Put your hands on the wheel

Drift away instead

There's distant lights

Even when it's day
B C#m
You gotta drive all night

Just to feel like you're OK

[Intro]
B B7 F#m
[Verse]
B B7 F#m
Just like a paper tiger
B B7 F#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

And storms up above

Like a stray dog gone defective
B E D A B
Like a paper tiger in the sun
[Verse]
B B7 F#m
Looking through a broken diamond
B B7 F#m
To make the past what it should be

Through the ruins and the weather

Capsized boats in the sea

O deserts down below us
B G E
And storms up above
B G E
Like a stray dog gone defective
B E D A B
Like a paper tiger in the sun
[Bridge]
B B7 F#m
We're just holding on to nothing
B B7 F#m
To see how long nothing lasts
[Chorus]
B G E
O deserts down below us
B G E
And storms up above
B G E
Like a stray dog gone defective
B E D A B
Like a paper tiger in the sun
[Verse]
B B7 F#m
There's one road to the morning
B B7 F#m
There's one road to the truth
B B7 F#m
There's one road back to civilization
B B7 F#m
But there's no road back to you....
