[Verse 1]
GI realized the way your eyes D7deceived me
With tender looks that I mistook for Glove
So take away the flowers that you gCave me
DAnd send the kind that you remind me Gof
[Chorus] 
Paper Croses  Dpaper Groses
Oh how Amreal those roses Dseem to Gbe
But they're Conly Dim-itaG-tion
Like your Amimitation Dlove for Gme
[Verse 1]
GI thought that you would be a perfect D7lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the Gstart
But like a big red rose that's made of Cpaper
DThere isn't any sweetness in your Gheart
[Chorus] 
Paper Croses  Dpaper Groses
Oh how Amreal those roses Dseem to Gbe
But they're Conly Dim-itaG-tion
Like your Amimitation Dlove D7for Gme
