Verse 1:

                     G
        Though you think you're having good times
                  E
        With the boy that you just met (paper sun)
        Gm
        Kicking sand from beach to beach
                D
        Your clothes all soaking wet
            G
        But if you look around and see
            E
        A shadow on the run (on the run)
        Gm                               D
        Don't be too upset because it's just 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
                            D        F   G    D
                          (Too much sun will burn)
        Too much sun will burn
                            D        F   G    D
                          (Too much sun will burn)

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]

        Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
         Asus4                                    A
        A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
            Asus4                           A
        That boy who had given you so much fun
            Asus4                    A
        Has left you so cold in the paper sun
