Ab
In comparison to Paris
    Fm
You lie like the city of lights and
                  Db
You fight like my parents
       Eb               Ab
About who and what and when

          Ab
And you barely even shared it
      Fm
Goodnight to the pretty old sky
                       Db
And goodnight to the terrace
          Eb               Ab
Where we knew what we had been

[Bridge]
          Ab
And your mind is just like theirs is
    Fm                                          Db
To die, what a pity to die without getting to cherish
          Eb               Ab
All the things you left behind

        Ab
And I know you know what fair is
   Fm                                                   Db
So why do you sit there and cry like you might have to bear this,
            Eb           Ab
Like you'd even have to try?

[Chorus]
              Ab        Cm      Fm         Eb      Ab
I know for a fact I'm on your mind, like all the time
                  Ab      Cm    Fm        Eb        Ab
And when you get back to being fine, then I'm your guy

[Verse]
         Ab
In the valley there's a river
      Fm
That moves like a snake, how it glides and it slithers
 Db       Eb                           Ab
Away in a way that makes it seem to only grow bigger

            Ab
There's a boat upon this river
     Fm                                                 Db
That came from the lake and she's headed away for the winter
                  Eb                            Ab
And freezing and I'd be most pleased to go with her

[Bridge]
                         Ab     Fm      Db       Eb      Ab
But it seems like I am stuck on you and you are stuck on me
              Ab    Fm         Db       Eb     Ab
I don't know what to do 'cause you did this to me

[Verse]
           Ab
Oh, in comparison to Paris
     Fm
You lie like the city of lights and
                    Db
You fight like my parents
       Eb               Ab
About who and what and when

          Ab
And you barely even shared it
      Fm
Goodnight to the pretty old sky
                       Db
And goodnight to the terrace
           Eb              Ab
Where we knew what we had been

[Chorus]
               Ab     Cm       Fm         Eb      Ab
I know for a fact I'm on your mind, like all the time,
                  Ab      Cm    Fm        Eb      Ab
And when you get back to being fine then I'm your guy
