🎶 Palermo

[Cb]She′s the kind of beautiful that you [Db]wish you never saw
[Cb]But another minute isn't [Bbm]breaking any laws.
[A#m]The clock is ticking, but it [Db]doesn′t matter 'cause I'm not [Cb]mo [Bbm]ving.
[Cb]She looks at me and then I [Db]open like a shell.
[Cb]She touches me and all my [Bbm]plans go straight to hell.
[A#m]I′m fighting a war with something [Db]bigger than myself and I′m [Cb]lo [Bbm]sing.

Pa [A#m]lermo, Pa [Bbm]lermo! I'm [Db]caught in her [Cb]stare
and my [D#]heart shoots a [Cb]flare in the [Db]sky.
And as the [A#m]flames in the [Bbm]air blow, [Db]I′m leaving I [Cb]swear
though I [D#]can't kiss Pa [Bbm]lermo good [Cb]bye.

[Cb]I feel as though I drank a [Db]thousand jugs of wine,
[Cb]Like the world could end to [Bbm]night and I′d be fine,
[A#m]Like every star that's in the [Db]Universe aligns, when I [Cb]hold [Bbm]her.
[Cb]I shake it off and tell my [Db]self to get a grip.
[Cb]This road I′m walking on I [Bbm]can't afford to slip,
[A#m]But then the perfect [Db]broken English leaves her lips, and it's [Cb]o [Bbm]ver.

Pa [A#m]lermo, Pa [Bbm]lermo! I'm [Db]caught in her [Cb]stare
and my [D#]heart shoots a [Cb]flare in the [Db]sky.
And as the [A#m]flames in the [Bbm]air blow, [Db]I′m leaving I [Cb]swear
though I [D#]can't kiss Pa [Bbm]lermo good [Cb]bye.Can't kiss Palermo goodbye.

[A#m]Maybe it′s her [Cb]soft Sicilian skin. [Db]Maybe it's the [Cb]Mediterranean.
[D#]Maybe I am [Db]just being naive, [Bbm]But she makes me [F#7]never want to leave.

Pa [A#m]lermo, Pa [Bbm]lermo! I'm [Db]caught in her [Cb]stare
and my [D#]heart shoots a [Cb]flare in the [Db]sky.
And as the [A#m]flames in the [Bbm]air blow, [Db]I′m leaving I [Cb]swear
though I [D#]can't kiss Pa [Bbm]lermo good [Cb]bye.
Pa [A#m]lermo, Pa [Bbm]lermo! I'm [Db]caught in her [Cb]stare
and my [D#]heart shoots a [Cb]flare in the [Db]sky.
And as the [A#m]flames in the [Bbm]air blow, [Db]I′m leaving I [Cb]swear
though I [D#]can't kiss Pa [Bbm]lermo good [Cb]bye.
I [D#]can't kiss Pa [Bbm]lermo good [Cb]bye. Oh, no!⠀
