[Verse 1]
[E]Just like a p[Bm]aper tiger[D][Bm][D][E]
Torn [Bm]apart by [D]idle [E]hands
Through the [Em]helter [D]skelter morning
[Bm]Fix [Em]yours[E]elf whil[Em]e[Bm]
you still [D]can[Em][E]
No more [Em]ashes [A]to ash[Bm]es
[D][Bm][D][Bm][Em][E]
No more [Em]cinders [Bm]from [D]the sky[Bm][D]
Let [E]all the [C]laws of [Bm]cre [D]ation[E]
Tell a dead [Em]man how to d[Bm]ie

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Oh, [D]dese[Em]rts [E]dow[C]n
[Em]below [A]us[E]
And [C]storms [G]up [A]above[D][Em]
Like a [C]stray dog gone de[A]fective
[D]Lik[Em]e a p[E]a per tige[A]r[G]
[D]in the[Bm] sun[E]
[Em]Looking

[Verse 3]
through a
[Bm]broken [D]diamond[Bm]
[E]To make the past wha[Em]t
it [Bm]should [E]be
Through [Bm]the ruins and the
[D]weather[Bm][E]
Cap[Em]sized boats [Bm]in th[Em]e sea
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
[E]
[Em]Oh, [C]deserts [Em]down below us
[D]And [E]sto[C]rms up abo[A]ve[Em][E]
Like [Em]a stray dog[Bm] gon[D]e defec[A]tive[Em]
Like a [D]pa [A]per [G]tiger [C]in [D]the sun[E]

We're just [E]holding on to [Bm]nothing
[E]To see how long [Bm]nothing [D]last[Bm] s
[D]Oh,

[Verse 6]
[Esus4]deserts d[C]own[Em]
[A]be [Em]low u[A]s[E][Em]
[C]And storms up [Am]above[A][E]

[E]Like a [A]pap[Asus4]er ti ger[A] in th[G]e s[D]un[Em]

[Verse 7]
There's [Bm]one road to
the morn[D]ing[Bm][E]
There's one road to the [Bm]truth[E]
There's one road [Em]back [D]to [Em]civilization
But there's no road [E]back [Bm]to you

[Outro 1]
