The most melancholic song from 'life for rent'. Simple and truly emotional.

Capo 2nd fret
Em B7 (x2)

  Em                           B7
Coming back from Paris on the train
    Em                         B7
I really didn't care if the journey took all day
  Em                              B7
Trying to turn the pages of my magazine
        Em                           B7
while trying to keep a hold of your hand
        Em                      B7
And ordering a coffee that I wouldn't ever drink
         Em                      B7
just to keep you in Paris on my mind

         Cmaj7        D7         G
Just to keep you in Paris on my mind
         Cmaj7         D7      G
I didn't know it would be the last time
      C          B7
the last time I saw you

      Em                          B7
At Waterloo we went our separate ways
       Em                      B7
when I got in my cab I didn't turn and wave
  Em                           B7
Didn't go to work just went to bed
   Em                          B7
trying to keep you in Paris on my mind

          Cmaj7         D7         G
Trying to keep you in Paris on my mind
         Cmaj7         D7      G
I didn't know it would be the last time
      C          B7
the last time I saw you

Em B7 (x2)

    Em                        Am
I phoned your office this afternoon
       C                       B7
they said they hadn't heard anything from you
      Em                        Am
It's been seven days without a word
            C                      B7
I have to keep you in Paris on my mind

          Cmaj7         D7         G
I have to keep you in Paris on my mind
         Cmaj7         D7      G
I didn't know it would be the last time
      C          B7
the last time I saw you

  Em                         B7
Going back to Paris on the train
   Em                         B7
raining and without you it's not the same
   Em                               B7
I have to do this journey one more time
         Em                      B7
just to keep you in Paris on my mind

        Cmaj7         D7         G
Just to keep you in Paris on my mind
         Cmaj7         D7      G
I didn't know it would be the last time
      C          B7
the last time I saw you

      Em         B7
The last time I saw you (x3)
