I went all the way to Paris  to forget your face
Am7Am7     Bm7Bm7      C majorC        F#7F#7
Captured in stained glass, young lives long since passed
B minorBm     E7E7   A minorAm     D7D7
Statues of lovers every place
Gmaj7Gmaj7         Cadd9Cadd9  Gmaj7Gmaj7      Cadd9Cadd9
I went all across the continent to relieve this restless love
Am7Am7         Bm7Bm7  C majorC    F#7F#7
I walked through the ruins, icons of glory
B minorBm       E7E7     A minorAm
Smashed by the bombs from above

Chorus:

So we must love
      F/GF/G            Cmaj7Cmaj7
while these moments are still called today

Take part in the pain of this passion play
        E7sus    E7E7  Am7Am7      D7D7
Stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust

Until time makes history of us

Verse 2:

Gmaj7Gmaj7         Cadd9Cadd9 Gmaj7Gmaj7          Cadd9Cadd9
Jeu de paume's full of faces knowing peace, knowing strife
Am7Am7     Bm7Bm7       C majorC     F#7F#7
Leisure and toil, still it's canvas and oil
B minorBm       E7E7     A minorAm  D7D7
There's just no medium for life
Gmaj7Gmaj7        Cadd9Cadd9 Gmaj7Gmaj7         Cadd9Cadd9
In the midst of the rubble  I felt a sense of rebirth
   Am7Am7   Bm7Bm7     C majorC     F#7F#7
In a dusty cathedral the living god called
   B minorBm      E7E7      A minorAm
And I prayed for my life here on earth

Gmaj7Gmaj7         Cadd9Cadd9    Gmaj7Gmaj7          Cadd9Cadd9
There are mountains in Switzerland, brilliant cold as they stand
Am7Am7    Bm7Bm7    C majorC      F#7F#7
From my hotel room, watching the half-moon
B minorBm      E7E7      A minorAm  D7D7
Bleeding its light like a lamb
Gmaj7Gmaj7      Cadd9Cadd9  Gmaj7Gmaj7             Cadd9Cadd9
And the town is illumined, its tiny figures are fast asleep
Am7Am7     Bm7Bm7    C majorC    F#7F#7
And it dawns on me the time is upon me
   B minorBm     E7E7      A minorAm
To return to the flock I must keep
