[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
[Intro]
C#m A E B
[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]
G#m
In your hand in your hand
[Solo]

[Chorus 3]
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
