Paper Lantern

[Dmaj7] [Emaj7] [Amaj7] [Dmaj7] [D] [Amaj7]

[Dmaj7] [Amaj7] [E7] [Amaj7]

 

[Dmaj7] You're like a paper lantern

[Amaj7] I let go too quickly

[E7] As I watched you fly [Amaj7] higher and higher

[Dmaj7] Night falls upon us slowly

[Amaj7] You whisper behind me

"[E7] Please forger those [Amaj7] unpleasant memories"

[Dmaj7] [Amaj7] [D](Ooh)

Don't disappear [Amaj7] now

[Dmaj7] [Amaj7] [Dm7](This wind)

[D7]Is gone without a [Amaj7]sound

[Dmaj7] Silence pierces through me

[Amaj7] I reach out for your face

[E7] Shards of time scatter [Amaj7] all around me

[Dmaj7] Fireworks blossom skyward

[Amaj7] The festival is over

[E7] How fleeting is this [Amaj7] life we live

[Dmaj7] [Amaj7] [D](Ooh)

Seconds to turn [Amaj7] hours

[Dmaj7] [Amaj7] [D](Ooh)

You're gone without a [Amaj7]sound

And I [Em7] [E7] know

I [A] have to [Amaj7] let you [Dmaj7]go[Amaj7]

 

[Dm7] [D7] [Amaj7]

[Dmaj7] [Amaj7] [Dmaj7] [D]

You're [D] like a paper [E] lantern
