INTRO
G#--;
G#-C#-; (4x)
G# Eb
I realized the way your eyes deceived me
Bbm Eb G#
With tender looks that I mistook for love
G# G#7 C# Bbm
So take away the flowers that you gave me
Eb Bbm Eb G#
And send the kind that you remind me of
CHORUS
C# D# Cm-F-
Paper roses, paper roses
Bbm Eb G#-G#7
Oh how real those roses seem to be
C# D# Cm F
But they're only imitation
Bbm Eb G#
Like your imitation love for me
INTERLUDE
G#-C#-A-D-
A E
I thought that you would be a perfect lover
Bm E A
You seem so full of sweetness at the start
A A7 D Bm
But like a big red rose that's made of paper
E Bm E A
There isn't any sweetness in your heart
