The Paper-hearted Ghost

[G5] [A] [G5] [A]

[G5]Your [A]skin was as white as the fresh fallen snow  [G5]      [A]
[G5]your [A]eyes were so bright with a [G5]promi[A]sing glow
[G5]your [A]lips red as roses and your hair black as coal
[G5]I would have [A]given my life but you've taken [G]my soul
There was [F]nothing a man wouldn't ad[A]mire
my [G]heart made of paper you've been playing with [A]fire

I think I'll never know why you chose me
but I know that I'm not the man I used to be
you knew you're my queen without realm without crown
just a look from you turned my world upside down
You didn't want a piece, you took the entire
my heart made of paper, you've been playing with fire

Your heart was so hungry and I was the feed
but soon you ate your fill now I must bleed
you loved me forever but just for a while
you've broken my love and my life with a smile
I'd never dreamt of you being a liar
my heart made of paper you've been playing with fire

I told you that I couldn't live without you
you promised redemption it proved to be true
you shortened my suffering with a long knife
first she'd taken my love then she'd taken my life
where we loved each other my bed was my pyre
my heart made of paper you've been playing with fire

Now I'm hunting the land I'm prowling around
for so many years I've been searching but found
not a trace, I confess it's unfortunately true
I should be ashamed but I still do love you
There is still this damned so called burning desire
my heart made of paper you've been playing with fire

Now you [F]know my name as my [A]story's exposed
now you [G]know why they call me the paper-hearted ghost
