Intro Optional
G Paper C roses D paper G roses
Em Oh how Am real those roses D7 seem to G be D D7
I G realized the way your eyes de-D7ceived me
With tender looks that I mistook for G love
So take away the flowers that you C gave me
And D7 send the kind that you remind me G of
Chorus
G Paper C roses D paper G roses
Oh how Am real those roses D7 seem to G be G7
But they're C only D imi-G tation Em
Like your Am imitation D7 love for G me
G I thought that you would be a perfect D7 lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the G start
But like a big red rose that's made of C paper
There D7 isn't any sweetness in your G heart
Chorus
G Paper C roses D paper G roses
Oh how Am real those roses D7 seem to G be G7
But they're C only D imi-Gtation Em
Like your Am imitation Am7 love D for G me
