A pa... per sun

repeat intro

Verse 2:

In the room where you've been sleeping

All your clothes are thrown about

Cigarettes burn window sills

Your meter's all run out

But then again its nothing

You just split when day is done

	?
Pitching lips	to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun

repeat cborus

repeat intro

Bridge:

	w/sitar as per intro
D5

Standing in the cool of my room

Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume

Too much sun will burn

	D	F	G	D
(T	oo much s	un w	ill b	urn)

Too much sun will burn

	D	F	G	D
(T	oo much s	un w	ill b	urn)

Verse 3:

When you're feeling tired and lonely

You see people going home

You can't make the train fare

Or the sixpence for the phone

And icicles you're crying

From your cheek have just begun

Don't be sad, good times are had

Beneath the paper sun

repeat cborus

Coda [separated from "Paper Sun", titled "We're A Fade, You Missed This",

and moved to last track of US LP]

	Asus4	A
	Daylight breaks while you sleep on the s	and

	Asus4	A
A	seagull is stealing the ring from your h	and

	Asus4	A
That	boy who had given you so much f	un

	Asus4	A
Has	left you so cold in the p	aper sun

(continue and fade)
