Intro: A, G (4x)

Verse:
A G
Threw my bad fortune
A G
Off the top of
A G
A tall building
A G C ...F, C, F
But I'd rather have done it with you

A G
Your boy's smile
A G
Five in the morning
A G
Looked into your eyes
A G C ...F, C, F
And I was really in love

A G
In Chinatown
A G
Hungover
A G
You showed me
A G
Just what I could do

A G
Talking about
A G
Time travel
A G
And the meaning
A G C ...F, C, F
And just what it was worth

Chorus:
A Bm Cm Dm
And I feel like some bird of Paradise
A Bm Cm Dm
My bad fortune slipping away
A Bm Cm Dm
And I feel the innocence of a child
C D A
Everybody's got something good to say

A, G (4x)

Verse:
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place

When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face

I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put into words

Like a gypsy
You dance in cirxles
All around me
And all over the world

Chorus

Outtro: [keep playing A and G, do not resolve with F and C as before]

So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving

Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day Bonnie and Clyde
On the run again

...to fade
