VERSE1
Cadd9 Am7
Ezra was an old man, he lived by the sea
F Dm7 G
Watching himself getting older, with no family
Cadd9 Am7
And Cassie was a pretty one, a bar tender by trade
F Dm7 G
She had a daughter with big green eyes, she called her Jade
PRE-CHORUS
Am F
They met each other in the park while Jade was on a swing
C G
On a bench underneath a tree, they talked about everything
Am F
And she said, "Sometimes I get so scared, but I don't know why"
C G
She reached for the old man's hand and she began to cry
Am G/B
And he said
CHORUS
C G/B Am F
"It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
C G/B Am G F G
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes
C G/B Am F
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
C G F
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes"

Then he said, "I was gonna be a painter, gonna paint my masterpiece
G Em7 A
I spent my whole life dreamin', now they're my only memories

I could be a Pablo Picasso if delusion were an art"

And she said, "That sounds lovely, Paris, France

They'd meet there every Sunday in the park at noon

"Wish I could find a guy like you but they'll never make you again"
PRE-CHORUS

While Cassie'd still be talkin' a long time after dark

One Sunday afternoon, no Ezra, no red balloon

Just a friend of his who said, "Ezra passed away
F#m G#m A
And he wanted me to bring this letter to you today"

Well, it was two tickets to Paris
A G#m F#m
And a note that read, "Thank you for the dance

My dearest Cassie, you were my Paris, France"
