Lyrics

I realize the way your eyes (G7)deceived me with tender looks that I mistook for (C)love;

so take away the flowers (C7)that you (F)gave me and (G7)send the kind that you remind me (C)of.

Paper (F)roses, (G7)paper (F)(C)roses, (Aaug)oh, how (Dm)real those roses (G7)seem to (C)be!

But they're (F)only (B7)(Em)imitation (Aaug)like your (Dm)imitation (G7)love for (C)me.

Your pretty lips look warm and so (G7)appealing,

they seem to have the sweetness of a (C)rose;

but when you give a kiss there (C7)is no (F)feeling,

it's (G7)just a stiff and artificial (C)pose.

Paper (F)roses, (G7)paper (F)(C)roses, (Aaug)oh, how (Dm)real those roses (G7)seem to (C)be!

But they're (F)only (B7)(Em)imitation (Aaug)like your (Dm)imitation (G7)love for (C)me.

Your me.

(Aaug)Like your (Dm)imitation (G7)love for (C)me.
