[Verse 1]

  C#m
I remember what my father said
    A               B
The day he paid the piper
          C#m
You gotta free your mind
    A
But don't lose your head
                       B
It takes a road to be a rider
    F#                                    C#m
The more you want it the less you have you know
    F#m                                    E  B/D#
And the hardest part is the art of letting go
              A
Whatever they say


[Chorus]

                           F#m          C#m
Don't you know it's just a paper tiger
                           B               A
Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind
                       F#m
Take a look at all the ties that bind you
E      B
From behind

[Verse 2]

        C#m
So keep moving on my wayward son
        A               B
See the method to their madness
       C#m
It's a broken trail, a blood-stained gun
       A             B
And no way out of darkness
F#m                               C#m
Hear the calling, keep the demons down
F#m                             E   B/D#
Hate is ruling, but love is all around
              A
Whatever they say


[Chorus 2]

                           F#m          C#m
Don't you know it's just a paper tiger
                           B               A
Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind
                       F#m
Take a look at all the ties that bind you
E      B/D# A
From behind
                           F#m          C#m
Don't you know it's just a paper tiger
                      B             A
Fear is nothing but a castle in the sand
                     F#m
And a heart that can break like china in your hand
E      B
In your hand


[Bridge]

Don't you know it's just a paper tiger
                           B               A
Don't you know it's just a phantom in your mind
                       F#m
Take a look at all the ties that bind you
E      B/D# A
From behind

Don't you know it's just a paper tiger

Fear is nothing but a castle in the sand
                     F#m
And a heart that can break like china in your hand
E      B
In your hand
