Paper Sun Traffic
Verse 1:
Though you th[G]ink you're having good times
With the b[E]oy that you just met (paper sun)
[Gm]Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clo[D]thes all soaking wet
But [G]if you look around and see
A sh[E]adow on the run (on the run)
[Gm]Don't be too upset because it's j[D]ust a paper sun
Chorus:
(guitar and sitar, 2X):
[Cm]v v v v [Bb]v v [G]v v [A]v v v v v v v v
A pa... per sun
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
In the ro[G]om where you've been sleeping
All your c[E]lothes are thrown about
Cigar[Gm]ettes burn window sills
Your [D]meter's all run out
But [G]then again its nothing
You just sp[E]lit when day is done
Pitching [Gm]lips [?] to nowhere, hung up[D] on the paper sun
[repeat cborus]
[repeat intro]
Bridge:
D5 [w/sitar as per intro]
Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn
(T[D]oo much s[F]un w[G]ill b[D]urn)
Too much sun will burn
(T[D]oo much s[F]un w[G]ill b[D]urn)
Verse 3:
When you're f[G]eeling tired and lonely
You see [E]people going home
You can't [Gm]make the train fare
Or the [D]sixpence for the phone
And [G]icicles you're crying
From your [E]cheek have just begun
Don't be [Gm]sad, good times are had
Beneath [D]the paper sun
[repeat cborus]
Coda [separated from "Paper Sun", titled "We're A Fade, You Missed This",
and moved to last track of US LP]
[Asus4]Daylight breaks while you sleep on the s[A]and
A[Asus4] seagull is stealing the ring from your h[A]and
That[Asus4] boy who had given you so much f[A]un
Has [Asus4]left you so cold in the p[A]aper sun
(continue and fade)
