**Chords:**
C G Am F
C G C
C G
I realize the way your eyes deceive me
Am F
With tender looks that I mistook for love
C G
But now that you’re gone, the world is empty
Am F
And I’m just a shadow of what I once was
C G
Paper roses, paper roses
Am F
Oh, how real those roses seem to be
C G
But they’re only imitation
Am F
Like your imitation love for me
C G
I thought that you would be a perfect lover
Am F
But I was just a fool to think that way
C G
And now I’m left alone to face the future
Am F
With nothing but memories of yesterday
C G
Paper roses, paper roses
Am F
Oh, how real those roses seem to be
C G
But they’re only imitation
Am F
Like your imitation love for mePaper Roses
