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.
