C G Am
Sweden calls and never leaves her name
Its getting late and she loves to play these games
G Am
So now Im lying in her bed
Trying to fall asleep
C G G4 G
I hear her voice; its ringing in the street
F C G Am
I held her close, she let me go
F C G C
I loved a girl Ill never know
Paris looks good, shes as spoiled as they get
With wealth and fashion at her fingertips
So I put on my only tie
Tied it like a mess
She says, Hello, and sounds so unimpressed
I held her close, she let me go
I loved a girl Ill never know
F Bm * C F
Stay to settle down
C G Am
Or leave it all behind
F Bm * C F
And trade the things you know
C G F
For the things you think youll find
Oh, New Yorks eyes keep shining all night long
She gives me drinks and lets me sing her songs
And when I hear her voice
It makes me feel so small
Everything youd want, shes got it all
Ill hold her close, shell let me go
I love a girl Ill never know
Chorus
F C G F
Ill hold her til she lets me go
I love a girl Ill never know
Ill hold her til she lets me go
F
Oh...
