Verse 1:
Though you thGink you're having good times
With the bEoy that you just met (paper sun)
GmKicking sand from beach to beach
Your cloDthes all soaking wet
But Gif you look around and see
A shEadow on the run (on the run)
GmDon't be too upset because it's jDust a paper sun

A pa... per sun
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes are thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But then again its nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips [?] to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro]
Bridge:
D5 [w/sitar as per intro]
Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn
(TDoo much sFun wGill bDurn)
Too much sun will burn
(TDoo much sFun wGill bDurn)
Verse 3:
When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the sixpence for the phone
And icicles you're crying
From your cheek have just begun
Don't be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun
[repeat chorus]
