Verse
[E]Just lik[(E7)]e a paper tiger[Bm]
Torn apart by idle hands
Through the helter skelter morning
Fix yourself while you still can
No more ashes to ashes
No more cinders from the sky
All the laws of creation
Tell a dead man how to die
Chorus
[E]O des[C]erts down below us[A]
[E]And s[C]torms up above[A]
[E]Like a str[C]ay dog gone defective[A]
[E]Like a pape[A]r tiger in[G] the sun[D]
Verse
[E]Looking [(E7)]through a broken d[Bm]iamond
To make the past what it should be
Through the ruins and the weather
Capsized boats in the sea
Chorus

[E]Like a str[C]ay dog gone defective[A]
[E]Like a pape[A]r tiger in[G] the sun[D]
[E]We're ju[(E7)]st holding on to n[Bm]othing
To see how long nothing lasts
Chorus
[E]O des[C]erts down below us[A]
[E]And s[C]torms up above[A]
[E]Like a str[C]ay dog gone defective[A]
[E]Like a pape[A]r tiger in[G] the sun[D]
[E]There's [(E7)]one road to the mo[Bm]rning
There's one road to the truth
There's one road back to civilization
But there's no road back to you....
