So you think you're having good times   ...with a boy that you just met,
 D/A   Fm/G#              Fm                    C                       C7
       Kicking sand from beach to beach, your clothes all soaking wet,
(Paper sun------!)

But, if you look around, and see  your shadow  on the run,
 D/A    Fm/G#             Fm                    C
        Don't be too up - set, because ...it's just a paper sun!

In the room where you've been sleeping, all your clothes are thrown a - bout,
 D/A   Fm/G#             Fm                 C                 C7
       Cigarettes burn window sills, your meters all run out,
(Paper sun------!)
       F                      F/E  F7/D#  D        D7/C   D6/B
But, there again, its nothing, you just split when day is done,
 D/A    Fm/G#               Fm             C
        Hitching lifts to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun!

Has left you so cold   ...in the paper sun!
