VERSE ONE:

D
Who's the boy you like the most?

Is he teasing you with underage?

Could he be waving from a tropical sunset?

Static silhouette somehow

Single in this bed someday

Focus looking forward, the Colosseum
Bm7
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
G6                         C#m7b5
Rome, Rome, many tears are falling here

I'll be driving; you'll look the other way

D
That ain't easy to ignore
Em7
With your shutters open all the way
Bm                                 D
When it's candlelight I see I go insane

Distant silhouette somehow
Em7
We shared a cigarette somewhere

Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?

Gadd9
Always and forevermore
A9
I call to say I'm on the way
D                              Gadd9
Two thousand years remain in a trash can

Let burn the cigarette somewhere
A9/C#
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls

===
BREAK TWO:

--- NOTE ---
At this point in the song, the keyboard plays the chords, and the guitar just holds a D 
note until the outro. The keyboard could be replaced by another guitar playing the 
following chords:

| Gadd9 | "" | Em7 | "" | C#m7b5 | "" | Bm7 | A | (x2)

All together, these are the chords created:

| Gadd9 | "" | Em7 | "" | C#m7(b5,b9) | "" 
| Bm7 Aadd11 | (x2)

I know I can't do without; the future's trying to wait
Gadd9             Em7
I never loved you; and if I loved you
C#m7(b5,b9)        Bm7    Aadd11
I wouldn't say I'm sorry, oh no
Gadd9      Em7               Bm/F#   F#/A#
I stand outside under broken leaves
