Bridge:
C                 E           F
Once you were the talk of the town
E        G#       Am          G               F        C
Once you were the life of the party, you're a buzzkill now
C                           E         F
And it's so strange to see you caving in
E          G#          Am         G             F         C
Kicking up dust on the long road, honey, always trying to begin

Verse 1:
A                                          Am
But you found forty bucks in a hotel Bible
D                                  A
In a rundown room with nothing on TV
A                                             Am
And you acted out your lines there in the mirror
D                                          A
You could act out all that nothing perfectly
A                                    Am
So you conjured up a borrowed voice and new suit
D                                        A
And you stole a light for all that shadowplay
A                                           Am
And you won the crowd in Brooklyn with your cheap tricks
         D                                 A
Like you won the crowd with sweet talk in LA

Chorus:
         A             C
Well you don't see the air you breath
                  D                                A
And where there's warning, welcoming every day and night
        A             C                       D
And you don't see the web they weave is one I made
D                           A
hanging off the Hollywood sign
        F                    C                   A
But you ain't gonna shake my bones with all that caterwaul
        F                    C                  A
And you ain't gonna shake my bones with all that pretty talk
     F                 C
On paper it's an empty room
     F                    C
On paper it's  an empty tomb
  F                  C                A
A paperboy's nothing new but you don't know at all
A
You don't know at all

Bridge:
C                 E           F
Once you were the talk of the town
E        G  #     Am       G              F            C
Once you were the showboat honey but your ship sailed out
C                        E                F
And it hurt bad when you heard the stranger say
E                     G#         Am           G                F        C
That your bird in the hand was a flash in the pan when you let it fly away

Verse 2:
A                                                   Am
It was supposed to be the park on a billboard scene
    D                                   A
And every passerby wonders where you've gone
A                                            Am
You've been stowed up in your attic always thinking
D                                           A
About the next big plan for all your little songs
        A             C
And you don't keep bad company
          D                                        A
Honey and not say a single thing when you talk that long
         A             C
When you don't see the air you breath
                D                                 A
What's there to write about when nothing's going wrong?

Interlude:
A  C  D  A
A  C  D  A

Outro:
        F                    C                   A
But you ain't gonna shake my bones with all that caterwaul
        F                    C                  A
And you ain't gonna shake my bones with all that pretty talk
     F                 C
On paper it's an empty room
   F                    C
On paper it's  an empty tomb
  F                  C                A
A paperboy's nothing new but you don't know at all
A
You don't know at all
A
You don't know at all
A
You never knew at all
