[Verse 2]
[Gm]
Paper in [Bb]fire
Stinking up the ash[G]trays
Paper [Gm]in f[F]ire
Smoking up the al[C]leyways
Who's to [F]say the way
A man [C]should spend his days
Do you let [F]them smolder[C]
Like paper in [G]fire
[Gm]He

[Verse 3]
wanted [C]love
With [Gm]no in[G]volvement
So he chased the wind
[C]That's all[G] his silly lif[Gm]e req[G]uired
And the days of van[C]ity
[G]Went on forever
And [F]he saw his days burn [C]up
Like paper in fire
[G]

Do you let them [F]smolder[C]
