Capo 2
(Intro)
[C] [Am] [Em] [G]
(Verse 1)
[C]
I am so strung out
[Am]
Have not left this couch
[Em] [G]
In what seems like years
(Verse 2)
[C]
I've got problems yes
[Am]
My friends would attest
[Em] [G]
If they were near
(Chorus)
[Am]
But their not
[C]
They've moved on
[F]
And I can't find my way out
[Am] [C]
Stuck in Paris, Texas
[F]
Like fading paint on a boxcar
[C] [Am] [Em] [G]
(Verse 3)
[C]
There were moments though
[Am]
Many years ago
[Em] [G]
When I had a plan
(Verse 4)
[C]
Move to Dallas or
[Am]
Maybe Houston
[Em] [G]
Wherever made sense
(Chorus)
[Am]
But I still play
[C]
At some hole in a wall
[F]
For tips or maybe a number
[Am] [C]
Stuck in Paris, Texas
[F]
And I thought I was gonna go far
[Am]
Now I don't know what my plans are
[F]
I'm just fading paint on a boxcar ohh ooooohhh
[C] [Am] [Em] [G]
(Verse 5)
[C]
Yeah the money's tight
[Am]
Can't pay my rent
[Em] [G]
I should give up
(Verse 6)
[C]
I've got a sister
[Am]
Down in Commerce
[Em] [G]
Who could put me up
(Chorus)
[Am]
Damn I wish
[C]
I could catch a break
[F]
Or slide a scrap of fortune
[Am] [C]
Stuck in Paris, Texas
[F]
Like fading paint on a boxcar
[Am] [C]
I'm stuck in Paris, Texas
[F]
Like fading paint on a boxcar
Pieces of me keep flaking off
And the parts that are left
Are covered in rust
And i don't expect to be remembered for much
