D     G     A     D
(Paper roses paper roses)
        B                Em   A  D
(Oh how real those roses seem to be)


[Verse]
A   D                        A
You realized the way my eyes deceived you
                                   D
With tender looks that you mistook for love
                                G
So take away the flowers that I gave you
  A                                 D
I send the kind that you remind you of


[Chorus]
D     G     A     D
Paper roses paper roses
       B                Em   A  D
Oh how real those roses seem to be
            G    C# F#m
But they're only imitation
        B         Em   A   D
Like my imitation love for you


[Verse 1]
A#  D#                        A#
You thought that I would be a perfect lover
                                     D#
I seemed so full of sweetness at the start
                                       G#
But like a big red rose that's made of paper
A#                              D#
There isn't any sweetness in my heart


[Chorus]
D#    G#    A#    D#
Paper roses paper roses
       Cm               Fm   A# D#
Oh how real those roses seem to be
            G#   D  Gm
But they're only imitation
        C         Fm   A#  D#
Like my imitation love for you


[Otro]
        C         Fm   A#  D#
Like my imitation love for you
 C#    D#    C#    D#
