Intro: E5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5

            E5    E5
I read your book
              E5       E5
And I find it strange
                 G5
That I know that girl
                D5
That I know her world
             E5    E5
A little too well
             E5    E5
And I didn't know
             E5    E5
By giving my hand
                G5
That I would be written down,
               D5
sliced around, passed down
                E5     E5
Among strangers hands
              G5    D5
Three days in Rome
      C#*      C#?
Where do we go
              G5      D5
I'll always remember
              E5    E5
Three days in Rome
E5 E5 E5 E5 

       E5    E5
Never again 
                 E5    E5
Would I see your face
            G5
You carry a pen 
                D5
and a paper and no time 
        
And no words 
    E5     E5
You waste
         E5      E5
You're a voyeur
                  E5     E5
The worst kind of thief
             G5
To take what happened to us
              D5
To Write down everything

that went on
E5                  E5
Between you and me
              G5    D5  C#*
Three days in Rome
               C#?
And I'll stand alone
              G5      D5
I'll always remember
              E5    E5
Three days in Rome
--Wurlitzer Solo--
(Not too sure what a Wurlitzer is but here's the solo tabbed for 6-
sting. Just put full bass on your amp and keep turnin' up the gain 
until it sounds close to what's on the CD.)

              E5   E5
And what do I get
           E5     E5
Do I get revenge
                  G5
While you let all out
            D5
Without any doubt
                  E5   E5
Of how this would end
             E5    E5
Sometimes it goes
             E5    E5
Sometimes we come
               G5
To learn by mistake
                       D5
That the love you once made
           E5    E5
Can't be undone
                     G5   
Oh but Three days in Rome
D5
I laid my heart out
C#*                   C#?
I laid my soul down alone
              G5      D5
I'll always remember
              E5
Three days in Rome
