Intro: E Em E Em E Em

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

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

that went on
E                  E
Between you and me
              G    D  C#*
Three days in Rome
               C#?
And I'll stand alone
              G      D
I'll always remember
              E    Em
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.)

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