Paper Dreams

             G                
you said you cant keep hanging 
    Em
around there
                G             D
with these thoughts that rot in my 
hair
         G           D        Em
and the kids that never go to sleep
       G                D
i’ll wear my favorite dress
             G             D
but it will make no difference
G    D       Em        G       
i am not the same as i was when
             D
 you first met me
        G                D
and my eyes were still bright
     G            D               
and i hadn’t yet begun to destroy 
   Em
my body


[Chorus]
G                 Em
drink until you want me

 D               G
tie me up and taunt me
 Em         D              G
stay here forever just to haunt me
G                  Em
stuck inside your daydream
D                     Em
tell your friends that i seem
       G     D       Em
to be doing better this year


[Verse]
          G                   Em
there's blood stained in my singing
    G                   D
and ink blotted in my dream
G                D             Em
figures of the people i have tainted
            G           D
with this maddening illusion and
G            Em
constant confusion that
G     D          Em
i can treat them well


[Chorus]
G                    Em
drink until you want me
D               G
tie me up and taunt me
Em          D              G
stay here forever just to haunt me
      G                  Em
i'll swear I'm feeling better
       Em            D        Em
we'll fight about whether or not
      G    D   Em
I've lost my mind
