[G]
I thought [C] it was you [D] with you, I'll turn this view [G] of the plot
[C] [G] And how it's always another day, [E] just after twelve [Am] o'clock strut
You said, now I only [Ab] want you, so I [D] don't have to promise
[Am] Red-sided children, [C]
growing up close, we've spent all the [D] crimes in [C] [G] Paris
You've got the girl near [C] the star, or [D] a girl in France
[G] Or the cigarette [F] girl in [C] the sizzle hot dance
Or the words of [G] love in the [D] team [G] pool in France
[C] You're deaf and [G] transparent [D] as [Em] polyglass
[C] You're everywhere [G] girl [D] in an everyday [E] dress
[A] Who paid for the [C] crimes in Paris?
[G]
I heard that you fell through [D] the hell of the [G]
Hammersmiths
In a tiny totter, he's so [Am] out of his [E] mind, he's [Am] irresistible too
It's hard to say now if he's only [D] stupid or is he mine?
[Am] As you crawl through the dark [C] and part of what hell is creeping [D] Jesus' [Bm] mind
[G] You've got the [C] girl near the star, [D] or a girl in France
[G] Or the cigarette girl [C] in the sizzle hot dance
Or the words of [G] love [D] in the team pool [G] in France
[C] You're deaf [G] and transparent [D] as [Em] polyglass
[C] You're [G] everywhere [D] girl in an everyday [E] [A] dress
Who [D] paid for the [C]
crimes in [G] Paris?
[E] It's all here and now, [Am] tears and wind now, painful way, painful time
[A]
[Dm] And I've tried [G] to hold on to [Dm] you, but I don't [G] know how
And [C] I'm finding it hard [Em] to swallow
No good [Gm] [A] advice, [Am] like going down three times is lonely
[C] Come out [D]
twice, [Eb] come out [Am]
twice
[G] She's so convenient, [D]
he's always [G] sniffing hair lacquer
[C] [G]
It's hard to discover [F]
now he's in love with [E] her
It was a way [Am] of getting her on back, he never did anything she couldn't do [D] on her own
[Am] Be as good as she would [C] and that's no need to her, you better be back in [D] no time
[Am] [G] [D] [G] She's got the girl [C] near the star, [D] or a girl in France
[G] Or the cigarette [C] girl in the sizzle hot dance
Or the [G] words of love [D] in the team pool [G] in France
[C] And you're deaf [G] and transparent [D] as [G] polyglass
[C]
You're [G] everywhere girl [D] in an [E] everyday [Am] dress
Who [D] paid for the [C] crimes in Paris?
[G]
[D] Who paid for the [C] crimes in [G] Paris?
Who's [Am] going to [D] pay for the [C] crimes in Paris?
[G]
[Am] Who paid for the crimes in [G] Paris?
[Am] Who paid for the crimes in Paris?
[G]
Who's going to pay for the crimes in Paris?
