Intro:
A F#m
Verse:
A F#m
At least I avoided cliche
A Ab Ab7
Holding nobody's hand along the Champs-Élysées
D
Taking my time
Dm
Breaking bread, sipping wine
A Aaug F#m Aaug
Meant for two
A F#m
It's a beautiful city for saps
A Ab Ab7
But turn out the lights, we're too clever for that
Chorus:
Dmaj7 D6 E7
And I know, I know we're not in love
Dm A
But we'd fool this old town
F#m D E7
With the view of us, thoughts from the tourist
Dm A Aaug F#m Aaug
Alone
A Aaug F#m Aaug A
Verse:
A F#m
We could fall for the streets of Paris
A Ab Ab7
But the Eiffel's a joke and the punchline is me
Chorus:
Dmaj7 D6 E7
And you know, you know it's not funny
Dm A
But we'd laugh till it was
F#m D E7
Just the two of us, thoughts from the tourist
Dm A Aaug F#m Aaug
Alone
A Aaug
F#m A7
And
Dmaj7 D6 F6
I know, I know that we tried
E6 E6 Eb6 D6 E7
To survive on a lie we couldn't endure
Dm
So what's just one more
A F#m D E7
Thought from the tourist, imagining the two of us
Dm A Aaug F#m Aaug
Alone?
A Aaug F#m Aaug
