A5
We argued on the channel train to Paris
     E5
The vanrougue helped us make it sweet again
    B5
But by the time that we got down to Lyon
                       A5
Everything I said was wrong
                          E5
And you cursed me in the rain

   A5
We split up for a while in Barcelona
   E5
We met up six days later in Madrid
      B5
I was hoping that the break would

make it go a little better for us
     A5                            E5
And for a little while it almost did

D5
Now I'm in a bar in Copenhagen
        A5
And I'm tryin' hard to forget your name
        G5                                              E5
And I'm staring at the label of a bottle of cervasa
                                   A5
And every fucking city looks the same

A5
You said to call me when I got to London
   E5
A French girl said you'd left a note
          B5
I said to her 'I like your accent'

And she thought I sounded funny
       A5                      E5
So we ended up drinking in Soho

A5
Foolishly I followed you to Dublin
        E5
Like a ghost I walked the streets of Temple Bar
    B5
And all the bright young things

were throwing up their Guinness in the gutters
     A5                                    E5
And once I thought I saw you from afar

D5
Now I'm in a nightclub in Helsinki
             A5
And they're playing La Vida Loca once again
       G5
And I can't believe I'm dancing to this crap 
                   E5
but I'm a chance here
                                  A5
And every fucking city sounds the same
 [Modulate up one step to B]

B5
At a cafe; in the port of Amsterdam
    F#5
An email from you said you'd gone to Rome
     C#5
For a minute I thought maybe

but my funds were running low
      B5                                 F#5
And anyway it sounded like you weren't alone

     B5
So I headed north 'til I got to Hamburg
   F#5
A chilly city suits a troubled soul
    C#5
And on the Reaperbahn

I paid a woman far too much
    B5                                      F#5
To kick me out before I'd even reached my goal

E5
Now I'm in a restaurant in Stockholm
       B5
And the waiter here wants me to know his name
   A5
And I can order sandwiches
                                 F#5
in seven different languages
                                 B5
But every fucking city looks the same
     A5                                                      F#5
Arevaderci, au revoiur, auf weidersein, hasta la vista.....baby
                              B5
Every fucking city's just the same.
