The most melancholic song from 'life for rent'. Simple and truly emotional.
Capo 2nd fret
Em B7 (x2)
Em B7
Coming back from Paris on the train
Em B7
I really didn't care if the journey took all day
Em B7
Trying to turn the pages of my magazine
Em B7
while trying to keep a hold of your hand
Em B7
And ordering a coffee that I wouldn't ever drink
Em B7
just to keep you in Paris on my mind
Cmaj7 D7 G
Just to keep you in Paris on my mind
Cmaj7 D7 G
I didn't know it would be the last time
C B7
the last time I saw you
Em B7
At Waterloo we went our separate ways
Em B7
when I got in my cab I didn't turn and wave
Em B7
Didn't go to work just went to bed
Em B7
trying to keep you in Paris on my mind

Trying to keep you in Paris on my mind

I didn't know it would be the last time

Em B7 (x2)
Em Am
I phoned your office this afternoon
C B7
they said they hadn't heard anything from you
Em Am
It's been seven days without a word
C B7
I have to keep you in Paris on my mind
Cmaj7 D7 G
I have to keep you in Paris on my mind
Cmaj7 D7 G
I didn't know it would be the last time
C B7
the last time I saw you
Em B7
Going back to Paris on the train
Em B7
raining and without you it's not the same
Em B7
I have to do this journey one more time
Em B7
just to keep you in Paris on my mind
Cmaj7 D7 G
Just to keep you in Paris on my mind
Cmaj7 D7 G
I didn't know it would be the last time
C B7
the last time I saw you
Em B7
The last time I saw you (x3)
