Paper Friends

C  Dm7  Em  G

[Verse]
                           C         Dm7    G
They sent you down a paper friend, I hear
                          C                  Dm7    Em
You went back on all your vows you once held dear
                                       Dm7
There you stretched so calm and quiet
                                           Em
And things looked good, now don't deny it
                                       Dm7
You walked on air for fifteen minutes
                                         G7
And after that, there was nothing in it

[Chorus]
                           C          Dm7   G
You don't need those paper friends at all
                                 C        Dm7  Em  G
No, you don't need those kind of friends

[Verse]
                                  C      Dm7    G
You say you've lost your sense of time, again
                               C                    Dm7    Em
Well, you've been using that excuse since who knows when
                                      Dm7
You went the way of all young rebels
                                     Em
Ignore the gods, embrace the devils
                                           Dm7
But they're no good for you in your state
                                               G7
So why not drive them right out of your gates?

[Chorus]
                                  C          Dm7   G
'Cause you don't need those paper friends at all
                             C        Dm7  Em  G  F7
You don't need those type of friends

[Bridge]
                         Am7      Dm7
No one knows what you're feeling
                        C               F7
And life goes on in its own sweet time
                           Am7     Dm7
Your passions flame for no reason
                   Em7                F
You haunt the city for something that shines
    Em            Dm7    G
Even one thing to rhyme

[Verse]
                         C        Dm7   G
And if I meet you on the rounds today
                              C             Dm7    Em
I hope you won't turn on your heel or walk away
                                     Dm7
Yes, I know it takes so much effort
                                     Em
But facing up can be so much better
                                              Dm7
So what if dreams, they all come to nothing?
                                         G7
Just blow your nose and keep on looking

[Chorus]
                                  C          Dm7    G
'Cause you don't need those paper friends at all
                         C            Dm7  G
You don't need those kind of friends
                           C        Dm7  G
You don't need those paper friends
                           C        Dm7  G
You don't need those paper friends
