Verse 1:
Em          E
I read your book
Em             E
 And I find it strange
Em                G               Em  Bm
 That I know that girl and I know her world
             E
A little too well
Em            E
 And I didn't know
Em            E
 By giving my hand
Em               G
 That I would be written down, sliced around
Bm
Passed down
                E
Among strangers hands

Chorus:
E             Em G
Three days in Rome
Bm     Dbm    Db
 Where do we go
A              G
 I'll always remember

 Three days in Rome

Verse 2:
Em     E
Never again
Em                E
 Would I see your face
Em           G
 You carry a pen and a paper
    Bm                    E
And no time and words you waste
Em            E
 Oh, you're a voyeur
Em                 E
 The worst kind of thief
Em            G
 To take what happened
         Bm
To write down everything that went on
E
Between you and me

Chorus:
E             G
Three days in Rome
Bm Db             B  A
      And I stood alone
            G          Bm
I'll always remember, mmm

Three days in Rome

Verse 3:
E
And what do I get
Em        E
 Do I get revenge
Em                    G
 While you lay it all out
         Bm
Without any doubt
                  E
Of how this could end
Em         E
 Sometimes it goes
Em         E
 Sometimes we come
Em              G
 To learn by mistake
                       Bm
That the love you once made
           E
Can't be undone

Chorus:
E             G
Three days in Rome
Bm
I laid my heart out
Dbm            E   A
I laid my soul down
            G
I'll always remember
Bm N.C.           E
   Three days in Rome
