G                  Cm G
Does it hurt to remember
G                  Cm G
Does it help to forget
G                     Cm  G
Do you know what you started
G                         Cm G
When you lit the fuse of regret
G                     D#
There's not a reason why you've come undone
G                        Cm
There's nothing left to justify,
this can't go on
G                      D#
There's nothing left inside
as I walk this broken land

Chorus:
              Gm          F
Cause you're living on a paper sun
 D#               Cm
Blind to all the damage done
 Gm          F
Living on a paper sun
 D#              Cm
Waiting for the tide to turn
 Gm          F
Living on a paper sun
 D#                 Cm
You can't hide and you can't run
Gm                    F
All your dreams have come and gone
 D#          Cm    G Cm G
Living on a paper sun

Do you still hear them screaming
And does the fear make you run
Is the anger inside of you
A gift from father to son
I don't believe in you, you've come undone
I don't believe in what you do,
this can't go on
I don't believe in you as
I walk this broken land

Chorus:
Because you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
You can't hide and you can't run
All your dreams have come and gone
Living on a paper sun

D
You will discover the way to suffer
And like no other you feed the fire

There's not a reason why you've come undone
There's nothing left to justify,
this can't go on
There's nothing left inside
as I walk this broken land

Chorus:
Because you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the night
All your dreams have come and gone
