Paul Kelly - Every Funking City

every fxxking city

G
we argued on the channel train to paris
D
the vin rouge helped us make it sweet again
C
but by the time that we got down to leon everything
G D
i said was wrong and you cursed me in the rain

G
we split up for a while in barcelona
D
we met up six days later in madrid
C
i was hoping that the break would make things go a little better
G D
and for a little while it almost did

C
now i’m in a bar in copenhagen
G
and i’m trying hard to forget your name
F
so i’m staring at the label on a bottle of cer – vesa
D G
and every fxxking city feels the same

G
you said to call you when i got to london
D
a french girl told me that you’d left a note
C
i said to her “i like your accent” and she thought i sounded funny
G D
so we ended up drinking in soho

G
foolishly i followed you to dublin
D
like a ghost i walked the streets of temple bar
C
and all the bright young things were

throwing up their guinness in the gutters
G D
and once i thought i saw you from afar

C
now i’m in a nightclub in helsinki
G
and there playing la vida loca once again
F
and i can’t believe i’m dancing to this crap , but i’m a chance here
D G
and every fxxking city sounds the same

A
at a cafe in the port of amsterdam
E
an email from you said you’d gone to rome
D
for a minute i thought maybe but my funds were running low
A E
and anyway it sounded like you weren’t alone

A
so i headed north until i got to hamburg
E
a chilly city suits a troubled soul
D
and on the reeperbahn , i payed a woman far to much
A E
to kick me out before i’d even reached my goal

D
now i’m in a restaurant in stockholm
A
and the waiter here wants me to know his name
G
and i can order sandwiches in seven different languages
E A
but every fxxking city looks the same
G E
arriverderci , au revoir , auf wiedersehen , hasta la vista , baby
E A
every fxxking city’s just the same
