[B7]She had a dr[E/B]eam and boy it 
was a [B5]good one
[B7]So she chased after her d[E/B]ream w
ith much des[B5]ire
[B7]But when she got too c[E/B]lose 
to her expect[B5]ations
Well the dr[A]eam burned [E]up, 
like paper in f[B5]ire

Paper in f[D]ire, stinkin' 
up the [B5]ashtray
Paper in f[A]ire, smokin' 
up the [E]alley ways
Who's to s[A]ay the way a man 
should sp[E]end his days
Do you let them sm[A]older, [E]  
like paper in f[B5]ire?

[B7]He wanted l[E/B]ive with no involv[B5]ement
[B7]So he chased the w[E/B]ind that's 
all his silly life req[B5]uired
[B7]And the days of [E/B]vanity 
went on for[B5]ever
And he s[A]aw his days burn [E]up, 
like paper in f[B5]ire

Paper in f[D]ire, stinkin' up the [B5]ashtray
Paper in f[A]ire, smokin' up the [E]alley ways
Who's to s[A]ay the way a man 
should sp[E]end his days
Do you let them sm[A]older, [E]  
like paper in f[B5]ire?

[B7]There is a good life[E/B] right 
across this green f[B5]ield
[B7]And each generation s[E/B]tares 
at it from [B5]afar
[B7]But we keep no ch[E/B]eck 
on our appet[B5]ites
So the gr[A]een fields turn to br[E]own, 
like paper in f[B5]ire

Paper in f[D]ire, stinkin' 
up the [B5]ashtray
Paper in f[A]ire, smokin' 
up the [E]alley ways
Who's to s[A]ay the way a man 
should sp[E]end his days
Do you let them sm[A]older, [E]  
like paper in f[B5]ire?
