I hope this helps, i've seen a few terrible tabs for this kicking around the place.
Main Verse:
e---------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------
G--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x-----x---x--x---x----
D--7--5--7--5--7--5--7--5-----10--3--10--3----
A--7--5--7--5--7--5--7--5-----10--3--10--3----
E--5--3--5--3--5--3--5--3-----8---1--8---1----
(For the mute's on the G during the verse, she mutes the minor note of the chord...
and yes i'm sure, i saw her do it)
Chorus:
e--0--0--0--2--0--2----------------
B--0--3--3--3--1--3----------------
G--2--0--0--2--0--2----------------
D--2--0--2--0--2--0----------------
A--0--2--3--x--3--x----------------
E--x--3--x--x--x--x----------------
After the chorus there's a keyboard line which goes something like this:
e---------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------
E--5--5--5--5--3--3--3/8--8--8--8--1--1--1--1-
If you're playing it solo you could just use power chords (unless you have a second
guitar or a bass to play it though i'd suggest leaving it well alone)
Here's the lyrics as i know them... im 100% sure that they're right, but i'm only human.
Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love
In chinatown
Hung over
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talkin' about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put it into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune's
Slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody has
Something good to say
So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern-day
Bonnie and clyde
On the run again x4

| It's like when you're in love with someone you can totally relate to and your self-motivation kicks in again because you have something to look forward to. | |

| Given the dirth of respectable female role models in alternative music, it's no surprise that PJ is influenced by Patti. They're part of the same chain, as it were. | |

| I have no idea what PJ is saying in this song except for "whoaaaa whoaaa whoaaa" in the beginning. An average song, nonethenless. | |

| I can't tell you how much this song relates to me and my boyfriend. Just that line 'You boys smile, 5 in the morning, looked into your eyes and I was really in love' is just so true of us. God I sound all sickly but hey! | |
