[Verse]
Eb5
She went to Paris
 
Can you believe it?
 
She just woke up and fucked off to Paris
                   Eb5/Ab
I didn't think she'd go
 
I sent her challenges
 
I said she had to-
 
She had to kiss a waiter
 
But I need evidence.
 
So she texts me a photograph.
            Eb5
She saw the tower,
 
She saw the sepulchre,
 
She saw the Louvre,
 
She ate a croissant.
 
That's where the waiter was
 
I saw the pictures.
                           Eb5/Ab
I couldn't go 'cause I was working,
 
So I text her in French
 
She didn't understand
 
Her French was lousy.
 
Her French was always lousy.
 
I couldn't ask.
 
But now I'm lost...
        Eb5/Ab
Lost in translations of
            Eb5/G
Lost in her phrasebook,
 
Lost in her rucksack,
        Eb    Eb5/D
Lost in her- mmmm-mm-mm
          Eb5/Ab
Oh fuck, I'm lost.
          Eb5/G
Lost in a cafe
         Cm9
Lost in a picture
 
Lost in a bookshop
         Absus2
Lost in a footnote
        Eb
Lost in P.S.
 
Ab7sus2 Eb
 
                               Ab7sus2
 
I keep telling myself if this is happening,
                      Eb
It will happen in time
                          Ab7sus2
I keep telling myself I'm so adult about
              Cm9
Handling this crush
 
It will ease with time
             Ab7sus2
It will ease with laughter
                             Eb9
It will ease with translations
                        Ab7sus2
I gave up on the fact a long time ago
                 Eb9
You are not who I am
                                 Ab7sus2
I keep busy, I keep your picture in a drawer
                           Cm9
Where I know it won't jump out.
 
But you twist my arm
             Ab7sus2
And you push a little
                Eb
And it makes me warm
    Bb/D             Cm9
But aggravates this scratch
         Cm9          Ab7sus2
So you take control 'cause I need you there
         Eb
You're a catalyst,
 Bbsus4/D Cm9       Eb5
An equation I couldn't do without
            Absus2
And can not translate...
 
Eb Bb/D
 
            Cm9
Do something wrong, won't you?
Cm9        Ab7sus2     Eb      Bb/D
Do something wrong, won't you?
            Cm9
Do something wrong, won't you?
Cm9        Ab7sus2     Eb      Bb/D
Do something wrong, won't you?
            Eb5/Ab
But now I'm lost...
            Eb5/G
Lost in her laughter
          Eb5/Ab
Lost in a scribble left on a napkin
          Eb5     Bb/D
Lost in her smile
           Eb5/Ab
But I'm so lost
          Eb5/G
Lost in a question
Eb5/Ab
Lost in a routine looking for reasons
           Eb    Bb/D
Lost in her youth
            Cm9
Oh God, I'm lost
             Ab7sus2
Lost in this city
                Eb/G
Walking through faces
 
Crowded by memories
           Eb    Bb/D
Haunted by truth
            Eb5/Ab
But now I'm lost...
            Eb5/G
Lost in her lipstick mark
          Cm9
Lost in a voicemail
                          Absus2
Lost in a smell left on a pillow
             Absus2
Lost in this no, no, no
             Eb
Lost in this no, no, no
Bb/D Absus2
Lost in this no, no, no
               Eb
Lost in this...
