D5             A5       G5             D5
You can't erase the Paper Chase
G5                     D5
She'll make you play it
         G5                   A5
In the bright merry morning
D5                   A5
She'll run and hide
G5                            D5
And leave you the paper promises
E5                D5             G5              A5
Behind her as she runs across the square


D5                        A5        G5               D5
You can't win the race, She'll set the pace
G5                       D5
You will hear her laughing
       G5                        A5
Just behind the foolish fences
D5                     A5           G5
Throw back the gate and find the
             D5       E5              D5
Piece of paper lying on the curbstone,
          G5                    A5
But the lady won't be there.

G5                D5
Later in the day,
G5                                 C5
You'll be searching for a way
F5                                D5
To let her know you're ready
G5                              C5
For her little game to end
F5                               D5
Cause it's getting dark, and then-






D5                  A5       G5              D5
You'll see her face, a glimpse of lace
G5                 D5
And you'll go running
                 G5                        A5                             
Through the last sweet dying daydream
D5              A5          G5                              D5
Calling her name, but she's been home an hour,
E5                    D5
Laughing at the mirror
          G5                       A5
As she combs her paper hair.
