Verse 1 
 
G                  C                  Am 
So at my show on Monday I was thinking someday 
                 Bm     D      G 
You'd be on your way to better things 
                    C                         Am 
It's not about your make up or how you try to shape up 
          Bm       D    G      C Am                 Bm D 
To these ties and paper dreams. Paper dreams honey. 
 
Verse 2 
  
G                    C                       Am 
So now you pour your heart out telling me your far out 
                    Bm   D             G 
You're not about to lie down for your cause 
              C
But you don't pull my strings 
          Am          Bm           D      G 
Cos I'm a better man moving on to better things. 
    D           Am 
But oohh I love her because  
   Bm        D       Em 
She moves in her own way 
    C             Am 
But oohh she came to my show 
        Bm    D       G 
Just to hear about my day.  

Verse 1 REPEAT 

And at the show on Tuesday
She was in her mindset
Tempered firs and spangled boots
Looks are deceiving
Making me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams honey, yeah

Verse 2 REPEAT 

So won't you go far
Tell me you're a keeper
You're all about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings because
Cause I'm a better man
Moving on to better things
 
(Chorus)

D           Am 
But oohh I love her because  
   Bm        D       Em 
She moves in her own way 
    C             Am 
But oohh she came to my show 
        Bm    D       G 
Just to hear about my day 
 
(Bridge) (X2) 
 
Em    Bm            D         C 
Yes I wish that we never made it  
G               D 
Through all the summers 
Em          Bm   D          C 
We kept the moon instead of kicking us 
G                D 
Back down to the suburbs 

Em G Am G Em G C G
 
(Chorus) (X 2)
