[Intro]
B7 E/B B5 x4
[Verse 1]
B7 E/B B5 She had a dream and boy it was a good one B7 E/B B5 So she chased after her dream with much desire B7 E/B B5 But when she got too close to her expectations A E B5 Well the dream burned up, like paper in fire
[Chorus]
D B5 Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtray A E Paper in fire, smokin' up the alley ways A E Who's to say the way a man should spend his days A E B5 Do you let them smolder, like paper in fire?
[Verse 2]
B7 E/B B5 He wanted live with no involvement B7 E/B B5 So he chased the wind that's all his silly life required B7 E/B B5 And the days of vanity went on forever A E B5 And he saw his days burn up, like paper in fire
[Chorus]
D B5 Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtray A E Paper in fire, smokin' up the alley ways A E Who's to say the way a man should spend his days A E B5 Do you let them smolder, like paper in fire?

[Verse 3]
B7 E/B B5 There is a good life right across this green field B7 E/B B5 And each generation stares at it from afar B7 E/B B5 But we keep no check on our appetites A E B5 So the green fields turn to brown, like paper in fire
[Chorus]
D B5 Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtray A E Paper in fire, smokin' up the alley ways A E Who's to say the way a man should spend his days A E B5 Do you let them smolder, like paper in fire? x2
