Intro: G
G C D G C G
I thought it was you and your optimist's view of the clock
G G/F
And how it's always another day
E Am
Just after twelve o'clock's struck
Am Am/G# D
You said "Now I only want you so I don't have to promise"
Am C
But tiny children in grown-up clothes
C/E D D/C D/B D/A
Whispered all the Crimes of Paris
CHORUS
G C D
You're not the girl next-door or a girl from France
G G/F C/E C/D
Or the cigarette-girl in the sizzle hot-pants
C G/B D/A G
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
I heard that you fell for the "Hell or to Hammersmith Blues"
In the tiny torn up peices of his mind he's irresistible too
Now it's hard to say now if he's only stupid or smart
When he crawled through the door
And poured out more of his creeping-Jesus heart
Chorus
E E7
And it's all here and now
Am Am/B Am/C A/E
She hit him with that paper-weight Eiffel Tower
Dm G Dm G
And I tried to hold on to you but I don't know how
C C/B C/A# C/A
And I find it hard to swallow good advice
Am Am/B Am/C Am/D
Like going down three times to only come up twice
Am/D# Am/E G C G
Come up twice
