Here is my version of A Bigger Paper Bag, you can play along with the album just dandily (when its officially released of course) I'm not entirely sure whether A or A7 used in the song, both work just fine, as is the case with F#m during the verses which can be player as either F#m or F#m7, enjoy.Was this info helpful?

G            F#m           A
Dance like a butterfly and drink like a fish
G                 F#m                     A
If you're bent on taking demons down with only your fist

And I've never known anyone who could lose himself in a bigger paper bag
G              F#m         A
The weaker the signal, the sweeter the noise
G                F#m             A
Hunching over an instrument that you now employ
G                   F#m          A                     G/Gm
Like the Starvation Army needs a marching piano in the band
E       G       E
Are you feeling used?
G F#7

Oh, I was pissing on the flame
G                 F#7       E7      E
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
G                         F#7
I've got the world by the balls
     E7          E
Am I supposed to behave?
 
E      F#7
What a fraud
       F#m
What a con
F#7
You're the only
E     G/F#7
One I love
 
G            F#m                A
It's easy to assume that you've built some rapport
G                       F#m                    A
With a someone who only likes you for what you like yourself for
G               F#m        A                       G        Gm          G
Okay, you be my mirror but remember the only a few angles I tend to prefer
E        G       E/E7/E
I'm only here to serve
 
 
G         F#7     E7     E
Oh, I was pissing on the flame
G                 F#7       E7      E
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
G                         F#7
I've got the world by the balls
     E7          E
Am I supposed to behave?
 
G         F#7      E7        E
Oh, I was dancing 'round the flame
G                F#7         E7        E
Like a high-wire act with a "who, me?" face
G               F#7         E7        E
I was living on nothing but water and cake
 
 
E      F#7
What a fraud
       F#m
What a con
F#7
You're the only
E     G
