                    G
We were staying in Paris
                       Bm
To get away from your parents.
                                 A
And I thought, “Wow, if I could take this
In a shot right now,
         F#m7
I don’t think that we could work this out.”

            G
Out on the terrace,
                      Bm
I don’t know if it’s fair,
                             A
But I thought, “How could I let you
Fall by yourself
          F#m7
While I’m wasted with someone else?”

Chorus:
         G                Bm
     If we go down, then we go down together.
              A
     They’ll say you could do anything,
             F#m7
     They’ll say that I was clever.
         G                Bm
     If we go down, then we go down together.
            A
     We’ll get away with everything;
           F#m7                   G
     Let’s show them we are better.
            Bm                     A
     Let’s show them we are better.
           F#m7
     Let’s show them we are better.

We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
You look so proud
Standing there with a frown and a cigarette

Posting pictures of yourself on the Internet
Out on the terrace
We breathe in the air of this small town on our own,
cuttin' class for the thrill of it
Getting drunk on the past, we were livin' in

Chorus

           G
   Let’s show them we are,
             Bm
   Show them we are,
                      A
   Let’s show them we are,
   Show them we are,
         F#m7
   Let’s show them we are better.
                       G
   We were staying in Paris.

         F#m7
   Let’s show them we are better.
         G
   Let’s show them we are,
             Bm
   Show them we are,
                      A
   Let’s show them we are,
   Show them we are,
         F#m7
   Let’s show them we are better.

Chorus

                       G
   We were staying in Paris.
                Bm
   (If we go down.)
                       A
   We were staying in Paris.
                F#m7
   (If we go down.)
                       G
   We were staying in Paris.
               Bm
   (If we go down.)
                       A
   We were staying in Paris.
   (If we go down. Let’s…)

         F#m7
   Let’s show them we are better.
                      G
   We were staying in Paris.


         F#m7
   Let’s show them we are better.

   Let’s show them we are better.
       G
   If we go down,
         Bm
   Let’s show them we are better.
       A
   If we go down,
         F#m7
   Let’s show them we are better.
       G
   If we go down,
         Bm                      A
   Let’s show them we are better.
         F#m7
   Let’s show them we are better.
