Track 7 from "REVIVAL" (Almo, AMSD-80006)

CAPO 1

VERSE 1:
G                         D
Paper wings, all torn and bent
                                           G
But you made me feel like they were heaven sent
      G                  D
Paper wings, not real at all
                                        G
But they took me high enough to really fall
       C                    G
Your paper kisses, faded too soon
           A            D
Just like a paper rose, beneath a paper moon
      G            C
Paper wings, paper wings
   D                                         G
Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings
 
BRIDGE:
        C                  G        
Angels singing, didn't you hear
           A                           D
If only I'd listened close, when they whispered in my ear

CODA:
G                  C
Paper wings, paper wings
    D                                        G
Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings
  D                                            G
I tried to fly but found that I had only paper wings
