[Intro]
N.C.
Hmm, hmm
N.C.
Hmm, hmm
[Verse 1]
Dm
It's been a hard time living here out by myself
Dm
It's been a hard time caring now 'bout someone else
Dm
'Cause when that girl gone left I nearly lost my mind
Dm
It's been a long time coming but I feel alright
Dm
And I'm feeling alright, now
Dm
Hmm, hmm
Dm
Yet I'm feeling alright, now
Dm
Hmm, hmm
[Verse 2]
Dm
I swear that I had broken free now living for myself
Dm
I've been seeking medication, huh, with someone else
Dm
But every time I think it's over don't she come around, uh
Dm
Racing through my mind and just bringing me down
[Chorus]
Bb F C G
These paper dreams they still find a way to my heart
Bb F C G
All these years they keep tearing me apart, yeah
Bb F C G
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
Bb F
I thought you're all that I need
C G
But I'm living paper dreams, paper dreams
[Post-Chorus]
Dm
Hmm, hmm
[Verse 3]
Dm
I'm shaking just enough now here to hold this line
Dm
I wish I had an affidavit girl to know your mind
Dm
Well, it's a cold, cold world that I'm holding to
Dm
Keep me in the dark, babe, I don't want your truth
[Chorus]
Bb F C G
These paper dreams they still find a way to my heart
Bb F C G
All these years they keep tearing me apart, yeah
Bb F C G
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
Bb F
I thought you're all that I need
C G
But I'm living paper dreams, paper dreams
[Bridge]

Hmm, hmm
[Chorus]
Bb F C G

Bb F C G
All these years they keep tearing me apart, yeah
Bb F C G
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
