E Just like a paper Bm tiger
E Torn apart by idle Bm hands
E Through the helter skelter Bm morning
E Fix yourself while you still Bm can

E No more ashes to Bm ashes
E No more cinders from the Bm sky
E And all the laws of Bm creation
E Tell a dead man how to Bm die

E Oh C deserts down be-A low us
E And C storms up a-A bove
E Like a C stray dog gone de-A fective
E Like a A2 paper G tiger in the E sun

E Looking through a broken Bm diamond
E To make the past what it should Bm be
E Through the ruins and the Bm weather
E Capsized boats in the Bm sea

E Oh C deserts down be-A low us
E And C storms up a-A bove
E Like a C stray dog gone de-A fective
E Like a A2 paper G tiger in the E sun

Inter E

E We’re just holding on to Bm nothing
E To see how long nothing Bm lasts

E Oh C deserts down be-A low us
E And C storms up a-A bove
E Like a C stray dog gone de-A fective
E Like a A2 paper G tiger in the E sun

Instr E Bm x 8

E There’s one road to the Bm morning
E There’s one road to the Bm truth
E There’s one road back to civili-Bm zation
E But there’s no road back to Bm you
