Introduction:

 G               Am7             G             G/F#       D 
I re - a - lize the way your eyes deceived me,
           D7           Am7             D7                  G 
With tender looks that I mistook for love.
         G       G/F#         Em       Bm7/5           C     C/B     Am7     Am7/G 
So take away the flowers that you gave me
             D           Am7               D7              G       Am7         G 
And send the kind that you remind me of.
 G7         C     C/B     Am7   Am7/G   G       G/F#     Em 
Paper ro - ses,               paper ro - ses 
 G/B         C                 C/B     Am7           G 
Oh how real those roses seem to be.
 G7                   C     C/B     Am7     Am7/G         G       G/F#     Em 
But they're on - ly                   im - i - ta - tion,
 G/B             Am7       Am7/G             D7       D9   G 
Like your im - i - ta - tion love for me.
           G                   Am7           G       G/F#         D 
I thought that you would be a perfect lover 
           D7             Am7             D7                    G 
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start.
           G         G/F#         Em               Bm7/5       C       C/B     Am7     Am7/G 
But like a big red rose that's made of pa - per,
               D       Am7   D7                        G       Am7         G 
There isn't any sweetness in your heart.
 G/B             Am7       Am7/G             D7       D9   G 
Like your im - i - ta - tion love for me.
