G# A#m
Put your hands on the wheel
C# G# A#m C#
Let the golden age begin
G# A#m
Let the window down
C# G# A#m C#
Feel the moonlight on your skin
G# A#m
Let the desert wind
C# G# A#m C#
Cool your aching head
G# A#m
let the weight of the world
C# G# A#m C#
Drift away instead
[Chorus]
F# C# A#m C# G# A#m
Oh These days I barely get by
C# G# A#m C#
I don't even try
[Verse]

It's a treacherous road
C# G# A#m C#
With a desolated view
G# A#m
There's distant lights
C# G# A#m C#
But here they're far and few
G# A#m
And the sun don't shine
C# G# A#m C#
Even when it's day
G# A#m
You gotta drive all night
C# G# A#m C#
Just to feel like you're OK
[Chorus]

Oh These days I barely get by

I don't even try

I don't even try

[Intro]
G# G#7 D#m
[Verse]
G# G#7 D#m
Just like a paper tiger
G# G#7 D#m
Torn apart by idle hands
G# G#7 D#m
Through the helter skelter morning

Fix yourself while you still can

No more ashes to ashes

No more cinders from the sky
G# G#7 D#m
All the laws of creation

Tell a dead man how to die
[Chorus]

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