Dm
It's been a hard time living here out by myself
Dm
It's been a hard time caring now 'bout someone else
Dm
'Cause when that girl gone left I nearly lost my mind
Dm
It's been a long time coming but I feel alright
Dm
And I'm feeling alright, now
Dm
Hmm, hmm
Dm
Yet I'm feeling alright, now
Dm
Hmm, hmm


[Verse 2]
Dm
I swear that I had broken free now living for myself
Dm
I've been seeking medication, huh, with someone else
Dm
But every time I think it's over don't she come around, uh
Dm
Racing through my mind and just bringing me down


[Chorus]
      Bb    F                 C             G
These paper dreams they still find a way to my heart
Bb        F                C          G
All these years they keep tearing me apart, yeah
Bb      F               C             G
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
Bb                          F
I thought you're all that I need
    C                G
But I'm living paper dreams, paper dreams


[Post-Chorus]
Dm
Hmm, hmm


[Verse 3]
Dm
I'm shaking just enough now here to hold this line
Dm
I wish I had an affidavit girl to know your mind
Dm
Well, it's a cold, cold world that I'm holding to
Dm
Keep me in the dark, babe, I don't want your truth


[Chorus]
      Bb    F                 C             G
These paper dreams they still find a way to my heart
Bb        F                C          G
All these years they keep tearing me apart, yeah
Bb      F               C             G
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
Bb                          F
I thought you're all that I need
    C                G
But I'm living paper dreams, paper dreams


[Bridge]
Dm
Hmm, hmm
Dm
Hmm, hmm
Dm
Hmm, hmm
Dm
Hmm, hmm


[Chorus]
      Bb    F                 C             G
These paper dreams they still find a way to my heart
Bb        F                C          G
All these years they keep tearing me apart, yeah
Bb      F               C             G
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
Bb                          F
I thought you're all that I need
    C                G
But I'm living paper dreams
      Bb    F                 C             G
These paper dreams they still find a way to my heart
Bb        F                C          G
All these years they keep tearing me apart, yeah
Bb      F               C             G
Wasted words, well, it never seems to stop now
Bb                          F
I thought you're all that I need
    C                G
But I'm living paper dreams, paper dreams
