[F#] [B]
[C#] [F#]
[F] [B] [C#] [F#] I realized the way your [C#] eyes deceived me
With tender looks that I mistook [F#] for love
[B] [C#]
[F#] So take away the flowers that [B] you gave me
[C#] And send the kind that you [F#] remind me of
[A#] [B] Paper roses, [C#]
[B] paper [F#] roses
[D#] Oh, how [G#m] green those [C#] roses seemed [F#] to be
[G#m] [F#] [B] But they're only [C#] [B]
[F#] imitation
[D#] Like [G#m]
your imitation [C#] love [F#] for me
[B] [C#] I [F#] [F] [B]
[C#] [F#] thought that you would be a [D#] [C#] perfect lover
You seem so full of sweetness [F#] at the star
[B] But [C#] [F#] like a big red rose that's [B] made of paper
[C#] There isn't any sweetness in [F#] your heart
Paper [B] roses, [C#]
paper [F#] roses
[D#]
Oh, [G#m] how real [C#] those roses seemed [F#] to be
[B] But they're only [C#]
[F#] imitation
[D#]
Like [G#m] your imitation [C#] love [F#] for [B] me

[G#] [D#] [C#]
[D#] [G#] realized [D#] the way your eyes deceived me
With tender looks that I mistook [G#] for love
[Cm]
So [G#] take away the flowers that [C#] you gave me
And [D#] send the kind that you remind [G#] me of
[C#] [D#]
Paper [G#] roses, [A#m] paper roses
Oh, how real those roses [D#]
seemed to [G#] be
But [C#] they're only [D#]
[G#] imitation
[Fm]
Like [A#m] your imitation [D#]
love [G#] for me
[E] [G#] I [A] thought that you would be a [E] perfect lover
You seem so full of sweetness at the [A] star
[F#m] But [E] [A] like a big red rose [Bm] that's [A] made [D] of paper
There
[E] isn't any sweetness in [A] your [C#]
[D] heart
[E] Paper [A] roses, paper roses
Oh, [Bm] how real those roses [E] seemed [A] to be
[C#] But [D] they're only [E]
[A] imitation
[F#m] Like [Bm] your imitation [D] love
[E] [A]
