Intro: G
GCDGC G I thought it was you and your optimist's view of the clock
GG/F And how it's always another day
EAm Just after twelve o'clock's struck
AmAm/G#D You said "Now I only want you so I don't have to promise"
AmC But tiny children in grown-up clothes
 
C/EDD/CD/BD/A Whispered all the Crimes of Paris
 CHORUS 
GCD You're not the girl next-door or a girl from France
GG/FC/EC/D Or the cigarette-girl in the sizzle hot-pants
CG/BD/AG All the words of love seem cruel and crass
CG/BD/AE (possibly G) When you're tough and transparent as armoured glass
CG/BD/AE You're everywhere girl in an everyday mess
AmCGC G Who'll pay for the Crimes of Paris
EE7 And it's all here and now
AmAm/BAm/CA/E She hit him with that paper-weight Eiffel Tower
DmGDmG And I tried to hold on to you but I don't know how
CC/BC/A#C/A And I find it hard to swallow good advice
AmAm/BAm/CAm/D Like going down three times to only come up twice
Am/D#Am/EGC G Come up twice
