 PAPER ROSES

[Verse]
A D A
You realized the way my eyes deceived you
D
With tender looks that you mistook for love
G
So take away the flowers that I gave you
A D
I send the kind that you remind you of

[Chorus]

Paper roses paper roses
B Em A D
Oh how real those roses seem to be
G C# F#m
But they're only imitation
B Em A D
Like my imitation love for you

There isn't any sweetness in my heart
