[Verse 1]

                A  E                  A
Got no business crying, living out beyond the blue
              C#m  E                           A
High on paper mountain, where you live the lie you choose
                           E                       A
You turn to face your neighbors and you never meet an eye
                 C#m  E                       A
The currents overtake you, the ink's not even dry


[Chorus]

              B                              A
High on paper mountain where the black river flows
                B              A
Peace is just a legend, no one knows
                      B                           A
But the old gods have fallen, people watched them go
              C#m
So will paper mountain

[Verse 2]

                      A   E                    A
Your reading that old story, it's a dire circumstance
                  C#m  E                         A
You comment on the image, a little face behind the fence
                      A    E                    A
The mission bells are ringing for a mother and a child
                            C#m [Lick 1]            A
You say all the news is bad and your on to something else

[Chorus]

              B                              A
High on paper mountain where the black river flows
                B              A
Peace is just a legend, no one knows
                      B                           A
But the old gods have fallen, people watched them go

[Verse 3]

                    A    E                     A
The desert night is stirring as paper mountain moves
               C#m E                  A
The rios running wild and the cactus are in bloom
                      A     E                        A
She's clinging to her freedom and her peace beneath the stars
                     C#m E                            A
The eagle spreads her talons, there's a rattle in the dark


[Chorus]

              B                              A
High on paper mountain where the black river flows
                B              A
Peace is just a legend, no one knows
                      B                           A
But the old gods have fallen, people watched them go
              C#m
So will paper mountain
