I realized the way your eyes deceived me
G
With tender looks that I mistook for love
G7

So take away the flowers that you gave me
D7

And send the kind that you remind me of

Paper roses paper roses

Oh how real those roses seem to be

G
But they’re only im-ita-tion
E7
Am
D7
G
Like your imitation love for me
D7
I thought that you would be a perfect lover
G
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
G7
C
But like a big red rose that’s made of paper
D7
G
There isn’t any sweetness in your heart
C

Paper roses paper roses
E7

Oh how real those roses seem to be

But they’re only im-ita-tion
E7

Like your imitation love for me
