[Verse 1]

Em               GKeep your powder dry and warm
D                       AThru the coming darkest storm
Em                  GAll the fear that's sent your way
  D                      AThru your eyes you might wash away
         EmWhen you can
           GStill your lantern's strong and bright
     D                AEven thru the darkest night

[Chorus]

C               GAll those paper tigers
D                   AAll their lies they might have sold you
C               GMight be wasted on
DOne so young that you're old again
A                                        EmShe walks out thru the wind and the rain uh-huh

[Verse 2]

Em               GThey can't give you all those things
D                       ANo pot of gold no big brass ring
Em                  GStay on the road for the night has come
  D                      APerhaps at dawn we will be like one again

[Chorus]

C               GAll those paper tigers
D                   AAll their lies they might have sold you
C               GMight be wasted on
DOne so young that you're old again
A                                        EmSylvia walks out thru the wind and the rain uh-huh

[Bridge]

Em  G         D      A                  Em     Still the shock rips you thru every nerve
G      D         A              EmIn the bell jar nothing can be heard

[Solo]

EmI would walk with you
        GI would talk with you
        D                      AI would do anything that would get you thru
     EmDraw the line for you
         GTake the fifth for you
        D                      AI would stand on a bridge and jump off it too

[Chorus]

C               GAll those paper tigers
D                   AAll their lies they might have sold you
C               GMight be wasted on
DOne so young that you're old again
C               GAll those paper tigers
D                   AAll the lies your mother told you
C               GMight be wasted on
DOne so young that you're old again
A                                          EmShe walks out thru the wind and the rain uh-huh
