Paris in 21, at 21
                    Eb5  D5
Sweet mirrired illusions,
                    A5  D5
Keeping on rolling along
                          F5    Bb5
Between the past and the present
                      E5     A5 F5
All that's felt in an old song
                               F5 F5
Then lovers were younger than I
                       F5         F5
They never let their chance go by
                             F5      E5
They believed what we would call a lie


A5 A5 A5 A5


(chorus)
           Bb5
Would have been there
             F5
But I wasn' born
           Bb5     C5             F5
Would have had the time of my life
           Bb5
Would have sinned there
          A5
'Cause that's when sin
         D5
Was cheating on your wife
           Bb5              C5         F5 A5 D5
Not like today, it's all, o.k., ol?, ol?
                      F5 Bb5
Sweet mirrored illusions
                    E5 A5 D5
On an old mirrored bed
               F5  Bb5
In a hotel in Paris
                     E5 A5
Wishing time wasn't dead
F5               
Took a train instead of speed

Took Colette and Proust to read
                                            E5
Let down my guard and made friends with Loy Reed

(Repeat Chorus)

  Eb5               Gb5  B5
Sweet mirrored illusions
              Bb5 Eb5  
They all end here
                 Gb5      B5
Some settle for champagne
                 B5 Bb5 Gb5
Some hunger for beer

Boats sail for distant shores

You always want what isn't yours

Off to see the wizard because
Bb5     Bb5     Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 Bb5
Because, just because
                           B5
Because would have been there
       Gb5
But I wasn't born
       B5          Db5        Gb5
Would have had the time of my life
            B5
Would have sinned there
          Bb5                               Eb5
'Cause that's when sin was cheating on your wife
                   B5         Gb5
Would have been there, but I wasn't born
           Ab5       Db5          Gb5
Would have been the toast of the town
            B5
Would have sinned there
        Bb5               Db5 Gb5
'Cause that's when sin was...
