[Verse 1]
C     G/B        Am         C/G            F    A7
I got time on my hands, I'm just stripping paper
Dm       G          C   C/G  F              Am
  It's amazing what you will find stripping paper
Ab/Eb                Bb  C
When you get down to the past
 
 
[Verse 2]
C            G/B         Am        C/G       F      A7
Back then we didn't have means for fine decorations
Dm      G             C  C/G F              Am
  So we painted while mixing wine with flirtation
Ab/Eb                Bb C
There in the mess of it all
 
 
[Bridge]
   C/E                 F
He took me right there in the thrill
G           C/E
Not quite against my will
        Bb                  Bb
With my back to that rococo wall
   Gm7                       G7sus4 G7
We slipped right down to the floor
 
 
[Verse 3]
C        G/B              Am      C/G     F        A7
I kicked closed the door, he complimented my taste
Dm    G          C  C/G  F             Am
  I anointed his serious face with wallpaper paste
  Ab/Eb                    Bb   C
I wish we could laugh like that now
    Ab/Eb                      Ab/Eb                   Ab/Eb   Ab/Eb
But what seemed to follow that ended up hollow was our vow
 
 
[Verse 4]
C      G/B           Am       C/G           F     N.C.
Tear a strip or two, see what came not much later
Dm         G          C   C/G F Fadd2 F Fmaj7 F6
  Here's a pony and a toy balloon
Dm           G                  C   C/G F Fadd2 F Fmaj7 F6
  Behind the vine that withered all too soon
Dm           G           C   C/G   F Fadd2 F Fmaj7 F6
  Here's the pencil of a measuring mark
Dm        G                   C C/G F Fadd2 F Fmaj7 F6
  And the monsters you spied in the dark
    Ab/Eb             Bb  C
Now I got no place in her heart
Ab/Eb             Bb  C     G/B   Am  C/G    F   Fadd2 F Fmaj7 F6 F
Let me go back to the start
 
 
[Outro]
C     G/B        Am         C/G            F   Fadd2 F Fmaj7 F6 F
I got time on my hands, I'm just stripping paper
C     G/B        Am         C/G            F     Fadd2 F Fmaj7 F6 F
I got time on my hands, I'm just stripping paper
C     G/B        Am         C/G            F       Fadd2 F Fmaj7 F6 C
I got time on my hands, I'm just stripping paper
