Standard (EADGBE)

 Paper roses, paper roses,

Oh, how D7 real those roses seem to G be,

But they?re C only imi F tation,

Like your G imitation love for C me,

I thought that you would be the perfect G lover,

You seemed so full of sweetness at the C time,

But like a big red rose that's made of F paper,

There G wasn't any sweetness in your C heart,

 Paper roses, paper roses,

Oh, how D7real those roses seem to G be,

But they?re C only imi F tation,

Like your G imitation love for C me.
