Introduction:
G Am
Paris isn't that romantic
C Am
If you don't have any money
G Am
Those cafés aren't so cute to walk by
C Am
When you're hungry
G Am
Our campground on the outskirts of town
C Am
Was all we could afford to do
G Am
We were so sick of bein' in the big cities
C Am
And this one seemed so rude, rude, rude
G Am
We mailed home all our huge rolls of film
G Am
And all the change that we couldn't use
G Am
We bumped into some girls that we knew from Texas
G Am
Saw the Mona Lisa, her smile seemed so cruel
Am
And we used our last ticket to take the train
C
To a boat on the coast that would take us away
G
To a place that we hoped
F
Would be the end of our sorrows
Am
When we got there we were way too late
C
There was no way we could leave that day
G
We would have to find a place to stay
F
And try again tomorrow
Am
We found a secret place to crash
C
In a bush by the docks
That was filled with trash
G F
We cleared a spot and we called it a day
Am
And I wished that I brought my guitar
C
As I looked through the bush
Up at the stars
G F
Fell asleep and got woke up by the rain
C G
We waited on the porch for the doors to open
Am
And we asked the guy if there was any reason hopin'
C G
He said, "Don't give up,
Am
Cross your fingers, wish for luck"
C G
So I cast my spells and I made my curses
Am
Wishin' that a truck would get stuck
C G
And then we could take their place,
Am
And leave France that day.
