[Intro]
G D/F# Em D C D


[Verse 1]
         G D/F# Em        D          C  D
She said hello,   she was letting me know
G         D/F#       Em  D  C  D
We share friends in Soho
G          D/F#        Em  D  
  She is a pain in the nose
C                   D
  And I'm a pain in women's clothes
G              D/F#     Em  D        C          D
  And you're a walking overdose in a great coat


[Pre-chorus]
C                    D           G                  Em
  And so she wrote a plan for it,  on the back of a fag packet
C                              D           
  She had to leave because she couldn't hack it
G                      Em
Not a lot of noise and too much racket
      C       D           G     D/F#     Em     D
"I think I've spent all my money and your friends", oh


[Chorus]
C             D                    G D/F# Em D
  "Oh, how I'd love to go to Paris again"
C             D                    G D/F# Em D C D
  "Oh, how I'd love to go to Paris again"


[Verse 2]
        G     D/F# Em        D          
Mr. Serotonin Man, lend me a gram
         C          D
You call yourself a friend?
      G        D/F#         Em          D         
"I got two left feet and I'm starting to cheat
      C               D
On my girlfriend again"
G            D/F#          Em        D      
  I caught her picking her nose
       C                    D
As the crowd cheered for an overdose
      G       D/F#     Em     D          C        D
And "I don't suppose you know where this train goes"


[Prechorus]
C                                   D          
  There was a party that she had to miss
G                          Em
  Because her friend kept cutting her wrists
C                   D          
 Hyper-politicized sexual trysts
 G                            Em
"Oh, I think my boyfriend's a nihilist"
      C       D          G          D/F#     
I said "Hey kids we're all just the same,
Em       D
  What a shame"


[Chorus]
    C            D                   G D/F# Em D
"And oh, how I'd love to go to Paris again"
    C       D                   G D/F# Em D C D
"And how I'd love to go to Paris again"


[Verse 3]
        G           D/F# Em       
"Oh stop being an asshole
    D           C         D
And counting my eye rolls"
         G       D/F#   Em   D  C  D
"They're like piss holes in the snow! Uh oh"
G           D/F#      Em     D       
  Keeping a tab on my health
        C                  D
Man you're putting me up on a shelf
       G               D/F# 
"Well I believed you're clean
    Em      D           C              D
But only by seeing your face for myself" 


[Prechorus]
C                           D
  And then she pointed at a bag of her dreams
G                Em
  In a well posh magazine
C                             D
  I said "I'm done, babe, I'm out of the scene,"
    G                     Em
But I was picking up on Bethnal Green
      C         D    G    D/F#   Em D 
She said I've been romanticising heroin


[Chorus]
    C          D                         G D/F# Em D
"And oh how I'd love to go to Paris, to Paris again"
C             D                   G D/F# Em D
  "And how I'd love to go to Paris again"
C             D                   G D/F# Em D
  "And how I'd love to go to Paris again"
C             D                   G D/F# Em D
  "And how I'd love to go to Paris again"
