[Intro] Am Em Fmaj7 C G [Verse 1]
G               F  C                          Fmaj7
Got no business crying, living out beyond the blue

Fmaj          Am  C   Cmaj7                       Fmaj7
High on paper mountain, where you live the lie you choose

Fmaj7             F   C   Cmaj7                  Fmaj7
Turn to face your neighbors and you never meet an eye

Fmaj7        Am  C                        Fmaj7
The currents overtake, the ink's not even dry
[Chorus]
Fmaj7         G                               Fmaj7
High on paper mountain, where the black river flows

Fmaj7                 G             Fmaj7
Where peace is just a legend no one knows

Fmaj7                 G                           Fmaj7
But the old gods have fallen, people watched them go

Fmaj7         Am
So will paper mountain
[Break] Am Em Fmaj7 C G [Verse 2]
G                       F  C                      Fmaj7
You're reading that old story, it's a dire circumstance

Fmaj7               Am C                           Fmaj7
You comment on the image, a little face behind the fence

Fmaj7                 F  C                       Fmaj7
The mission bells are ringing for a mother and a child

Fmaj7                   Am C                           Fmaj7
You say all the news is bad and you're on to something else
[Chorus]
Fmaj7         G                               Fmaj7
High on paper mountain, where the black river flows

Fmaj7                 G             Fmaj7
Where peace is just a legend no one knows

Fmaj7                 G                               Fmaj7
But the old gods have fallen, the people watched them go

Fmaj7         Am
So will paper mountain
[Interlude] F C Fmaj7 Am C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 F C Fmaj7 Am C Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 Am [Verse 3]
Am                  F   C                      Fmaj7
The desert night is stirring as paper mountain moves

Fmaj7             Am C                       Fmaj7
The Rio's running wild and the cactus are in bloom

Fmaj7                 F   C                             Fmaj7
She's clinging to her freedom and her peace beneath the stars

Fmaj7                 Am C                            Fmaj7
The eagle spreads her talons, there's a rattle in the dark
[Chorus]
Fmaj7         G                               Fmaj7
High on paper mountain, where the black river flows

Fmaj7                 G             Fmaj7
Where peace is just a legend no one knows

Fmaj7                 G                               Fmaj7
But the old gods have fallen, the people watched them go

Fmaj7         Am
So will paper mountain
