Paper boats

D Bm
How come these precious things
G F#m
were made to seem remote
D Bm
How come the words I weighed
G F#m
were forced back down my throat
D Bm
There was no room for honesty
G
No quarter that was mine
F#m
No noble cause
D Bm
I tried to fake a life
G F#m
To fool those snapping jaws

D Bm
From here I dare to launch
G F#m
my flimsy paper boats
D Bm
I shove each gently from the shore
G F#m
But I guard it where it floats
D Bm
They must not drift too far from me
G
I still sense danger and
F#m
They are too frail
D Bm
In time they'll catch the wind
G F#m
And fly with billowed sail

D Bm G F#m
Aahh Aaahh
D Bm G F#m

D Bm
They must not drift too far from me
G
I still sense danger and
F#m
They are too frail
D Bm
In time they'll catch the wind
G F#m
And fly with billowed sail

D Bm G F#m
