Am9 G6
Threw my bad fortune
Am9 G6
Off the top of
Am9 G6
A tall building
Am9 G6
I'd rather have done it with
C Fsus2 C Fsus2
You-ou-ou-ou- ou-ou-ou-ou
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In Chinatown
Hung over
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
[Chorus] - note rising bass progression
Am9 G6/B
And I feel like
C D
Some bird of paradise
Am9 G6/B
My bad fortune's
C D
Slipping a- way
Am9 G6/B
And I feel the
C D
Innocence of a child
C Dsus2
Everybody has something good to say
[Verse 2]
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 it into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world
[Chorus] x2 - note rising bass progression
Am9 G6/B
And I feel like
C D
Some bird of paradise
Am9 G6/B
My bad fortune's
C D
Slipping a- way
Am9 G6/B
And I feel the
C D
Innocence of a child
C Dsus2
Everybody has something good to say
[Outro]
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
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again

If you're playing it solo you could just use power chords (unless you have a second
guitar or a bass to play it though i'd suggest leaving it well alone)
Here's the lyrics as i know them... im 100% sure that they're right, but i'm only human.
Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In chinatown
Hung over
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talkin' about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through

Come right off your face

To remember
You're too beautiful
To put it into words

You dance in circles
All around me

And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
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
