[Intro]
C Dm7 Em G
[Verse]
C Dm7 G
They sent you down a paper friend, I hear
C Dm7 Em
You went back on all your vows you once held dear
Dm7
There you stretched so calm and quiet
Em
And things looked good, now don't deny it
Dm7
You walked on air for fifteen minutes
G7
And after that, there was nothing in it
[Chorus]
C Dm7 G
You don't need those paper friends at all
C Dm7 Em G
No, you don't need those kind of friends
[Verse]
C Dm7 G
You say you've lost your sense of time, again
C Dm7 Em
Well, you've been using that excuse since who knows when
Dm7
You went the way of all young rebels
Em
Ignore the gods, embrace the devils
Dm7
But they're no good for you in your state
G7
So why not drive them right out of your gates?
[Chorus]
C Dm7 G
'Cause you don't need those paper friends at all
C Dm7 Em G F7
You don't need those type of friends
[Bridge]
Am7 Dm7
No one knows what you're feeling
C F7
And life goes on in its own sweet time
Am7 Dm7
Your passions flame for no reason
Em7 F
You haunt the city for something that shines
Em Dm7 G
Even one thing to rhyme
[Verse]
C Dm7 G
And if I meet you on the rounds today
C Dm7 Em
I hope you won't turn on your heel or walk away
Dm7
Yes, I know it takes so much effort
Em
But facing up can be so much better
Dm7
So what if dreams, they all come to nothing?
G7
Just blow your nose and keep on looking
[Chorus]
C Dm7 G
'Cause you don't need those paper friends at all
C Dm7 G
You don't need those kind of friends
C Dm7 G
You don't need those paper friends
C Dm7 G
You don't need those paper friends
