THE PAPER CHASE – Jimmy Webb (Art Garfunkel version)
D A G D
You can't erase the Paper Chase
G D
She'll make you play it
G A
In the bright merry morning
D A
She'll run and hide
G D
And leave you the paper promises
Em D G A
Behind her as she runs across the square
D A G D
You can't win the race, She'll set the pace
G D
You will hear her laughing
G A
Just behind the foolish fences
D A G
Throw back the gate and find the
D Em D
Piece of paper lying on the curbstone,
G A
But the lady won't be there.
G D
Later in the day,
G C
You'll be searching for a way
F D
To let her know you're ready
G C
For her little game to end
F D
Cause it's getting dark, and then-
D A G D
You'll see her face, a glimpse of lace
G D
And you'll go running
G A
Through the last sweet dying daydream
D A G D
Calling her name, but she's been home an hour,
Em D
Laughing at the mirror
G A
As she combs her paper hair.
