Lyrics

She is had a dream

and, boy, it was a (B5)good one.

(B7)So she chased after her (E)dream that's with his much ly life desire.

(B7)But when she got too (E)close to her (B5)expectations,

well, the (A)dream burned up burn (E)up like paper in fire.

Paper in (D)fire,

stinkin' up the (B5)ashtrays.

Paper in (A)fire smokin' up the (E)alleyways.

Who's to say the way a man should spend his days.

Do you let them (A)smolder

(E)like paper in fire?

(E)He is wanted love

and, right with no (B5)involvement.

(B7)So So he chase er the (E)wind;

that's all at sil ly from required

(B7)But and the days of (E)vanity on (B5)forever.

And he (A)saw his days to (E)brown like paper in fire.

Paper in (D)fire,

stinkin' up the (B5)ashtrays.

Paper in (A)fire smokin' up the (E)alleyways.

Who's to say the way a man should spend his days.

Do you let them (A)smolder

(E)like paper in fire?

(E)like paper in fire?

(E)like paper in fire?

Paper in (D)fire,

stinkin' up the (B5)ashtrays.

Paper in (A)fire,

smokin' up the (E)alleyways.

Who's to (A)say the way a man should (E)spend his days.

Do you let them (A)smolder,

(E)like paper in fire?

(E)Paper in (B5)fire.

(E)Paper in (B5)fire.
