    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 chorus]
    [repeat intro]
    Bridge:
  •  
    D5 [w/sitar as per intro]
    Standing in the cool of my room
  • Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
    Too much sun will burn
    D F G D
  • (Too much sun will burn)
    Too much sun will burn
    D F G D
  • (Too much sun will burn)
     
    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 chorus]

    Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
  • Asus4 A
    A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
    Asus4 A
  • That boy who had given you so much fun
    Asus4 A
    Has left you so cold in the paper sun
