[Verse 1]
G D
I realized the way your eyes deceived me
G
With tender looks that I mistook for love
C
So take away the flowers that you gave me
D G
And send the kind that you remind me of
[Chorus]
C D G
Paper roses paper roses
Am D G
Oh how real those roses seem to be
C D G
But they're only im-ita-tion
Am D G
Like your imitation love for me
[Verse 1]
G D
I thought that you would be a perfect lover
G
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
C
But like a big red rose that's made of paper
D G
There isn't any sweetness in your heart
[Chorus]
C D G
Paper roses paper roses
Am D G
Oh how real those roses seem to be
C D G
But they're only im-ita-tion
Am D G
Like your imitation love for me
