Just like a paper tiger

Torn apart by idle hands

Through the helter skelter morning

To make the past what it should be

We're just holding on to nothing
A A7 Em
To see how long nothing lasts

And storms up above

Like a stray dog gone defective
A D C G A
Like a paper tiger in the sun

There's one road to the morning
A A7 Em
There's one road to the truth
A A7 Em
There's one road back to civilization
A A7 Em
But there's no road back to you....
