G                         D 
Paper wings, all torn and bent 
                                           G 
But you made me feel like they were heaven sent 
      G                  D 
Paper wings, not real at all 
                                        G 
But they took me high enough to really fall 
       C                    G 
Your paper kisses, faded too soon 
           A            D 
Just like a paper rose, beneath a paper moon 
      G            C 
Paper wings, paper wings 
   D                                         G 
Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings 
  
 
        C                  G         
Angels singing, didn't you hear 
           A                           D 
If only I'd listened close, when they whispered in my ear 
 
 
G                  C 
Paper wings, paper wings 
    D                                        G 
Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings 
  D                                            G 
I tried to fly but found that I had only paper wings
