E B
I made you a paper cup
E C#
And put it in your hand
You crumbled it up
You said you’ve already got a man

I made a paper trail
For you to follow
You didn’t read a page
You said the words were hollow

E B C# G#
Drawing figures on my wall
Don’t bother with their faces at all
Drawing figures on my wall

I made myself a house
And cut you a key
You threw it in the wishing well
so you’d know where it’d be

I carved out a toy horse
I brought it to your door
You dragged it in
And I came in through the door (on the horse)

I started drawing figures on your wall
They looked like cave paintings from Gaul
Drawing figures on your wall

This one’s a pony
It looks like a rat
This one’s you
I look kind of fat

You broke up my crayons
You stepped on my lips
You took my grace
You gave me a parting kiss

Drawing figures on my wall
I’m better informed is all
Drawing figures on my wall
I’m just a little better informed
