Am9          G6
Threw my bad fortune
Am9     G6
Off the top of
Am9    G6
A tall building
Am9             G6           C F C F
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

Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth

Chorus:
Am9   G6/B
And I feel like
C             D
Some bird of paradise
Am9    G6/B
My bad fortune's
C          D
Slipping away
Am9    G6/B
And I feel the
C         D
Innocence of a child
C              D
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

Chorus:
And I feel like
some bird of paradise
My bad fortune
slipping away
And I feel the
innocence of a child
Everybody's got
something good to say - x2

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
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again
