Gm
Paper mache and telegraph poles
F                     Bb
Things go dead in the night

Make enough noise to make enough noise

To make you want to jump with fright

Am
Elephant's tusks and autograph books  
G                C
People you don't meet
Bm
Haven't got a bed to lay my head   
Am                     C   G  
Shoes to fit my feet

A                    F#                     Bm

E                   A               E7
You're answering to no one, Paper mache

[Post-Hook]

C#m                                  Am           D
All of a sudden it happened when you did what you said you'd do
          Am                      E         F#
And you broke my heart in two like paper mache

Jimmy was everywhere
