I thought it was you and your optimist's view of the clock
G G/F
And how it's always another day

You're not the girl next-door or a girl from France
G G/F C/E C/D

All the words of love seem cruel and crass
C G/B D/A E (possibly G)
When you're tough and transparent as armoured glass
C G/B D/A E
You're everywhere girl in an everyday mess
Am C G C G
Who'll pay for the Crimes of Paris
