A shadow on the run (on the run)

A                pa...    per      sun

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes are thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But then again its nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips [?] to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun

[repeat chorus]

[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
DD Piano Chord 
        FF Piano Chord 
   GG Piano Chord 
    DD Piano Chord 

(Too much sun will burn)
Too much sun will burn
DD Piano Chord 
        FF Piano Chord 
   GG Piano Chord 
    DD Piano Chord 

(Too much sun will burn)

Verse 3:

When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the sixpence for the phone
And icicles you're crying
Don't be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun

[repeat chorus]
