[Intro]
G Am7 G D
[Verse 1]
G Am7 Am
So at my show on Monday I was thinking someday
Bm Am7 G
You'd be on your way to better things
Am7 Am
It's not about your make up or how you try to shape up
Bm Am7 G Am7 Am Bm Am7
To these ties and paper dreams. Paper dreams honey
G Am7 Am
So now you pour your heart out telling me your far out
Bm Am7 G
You're not about to lie down for your cause
Am7
But you don't pull my strings
Am Bm Am7 G
Cos I'm a better man moving on to better things
[Chorus]
G D Am
But oohh I love her because
Am7 D Em
She moves in her own way
Am7 Am
But oohh she came to my show
Am7 D G
Just to hear about my day
[Verse 2]
G Am7
And at the show on Tuesday
Am
She was in her mindset
Bm Am7 G
Tempered firs and spangled boots
Am7
Looks are deceiving
Am
Making me believe it
Bm Am7 G
And these tiresome paper dreams
Am7 Am Bm
Paper dreams honey, yeah
G Am7
So won't you go far
Am
Tell me you're a keeper
Bm Am7 G
Not about to lie down for your cause
Am7
But you don't pull my strings because
Am
Cause I'm a better man
Bm Am7 G
Moving on to better things
[Bridge] (x2)
Em Bm7 D Am7
Yes our wish that we never made it
G D
Through all the summers
Em Bm7 D Am7
We kept them up instead of kicking us
G D
Back down to the suburbs
[Solo]
Em G Am7 G
Em G Am7
[Chorus]
G D Am
But oohh I love her because
Am7 D Em
She moves in her own way
Am7 Am
But oohh she came to my show
Am7 D G
Just to hear about my day
x2, end on G
