Verse 1
[F] [Bb]
She's the kind of beautiful that you wish you never saw
[F] [C]
But another minute isn't breaking any laws.
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C]
The clock is ticking, but it doesn't matter 'cause I'm not moving.
Verse 2
[F] [Bb]
She looks at me and then I open like a shell.
[F] [C]
She touches me and all my plans go straight to hell.
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C]
I'm fighting a war with something bigger than myself and I'm losing.
Chorus
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Gm] [F] [C]
Palermo, Palermo! I'm caught in her stare and my heart shoots a flare in the sky.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Gm] [C] [F]
And as the flames in the air blow, I'm leaving I swear though I can't kiss Palermo goodbye.
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C] (x2)
Verse 3
[F] [Bb]
I feel as though I drank a thousand jugs of wine,
[F] [C]
Like the world could end tonight and I'd be fine,
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C]
Like every star that's in the Universe aligns, when I hold her.
Verse 4
[F] [Bb]
I shake it off and tell myself to get a grip.
[F] [C]
This road I'm walking on I can't afford to slip,
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C]
But then the perfect broken English leaves her lips, and it's over.
Chorus
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Gm] [F] [C]
Palermo, Palermo! She plays with her hair and my heart shoots a flare in the sky.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Gm] [C] [F]
And as the flames in the air blow, I'm leaving I swear though I can't kiss Palermo goodbye.
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C] [Dm] [Bb]
[F] [C] [Dm]
Can't kiss Palermo goodbye.
[Bb] [F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [F] [C]
Bridge
[F]
Maybe it's her soft Sicilian skin.
[Bb] [F]
Maybe it's the Mediterranean.
[Gm] [Bb]
Maybe I am just being naive,
[C] [Am] [C]
But she makes me never want to leave.
Chorus
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Gm] [F] [C]
Palermo, Palermo! She's keeping me there as my heart shoots a flare in the sky.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Gm] [C] [F]
And as the flames in the air blow, I'm leaving I swear though I can't kiss Palermo goodbye.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Gm] [F] [C]
Oh, Palermo, Palermo! Oh, I don't have a prayer when my heart shoots a flare in the sky. (In the sky!)
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [F] [Gm]
And as the flames in the air blow, I'm leaving I swear though I can't kiss Palermo
[Bb] [C] [F] [Bb] [F] [C] [Dm] [Bb]
I can't kiss Palermo, goodbye.
[F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [F] [C] [Dm] [Bb] [F]
I can't kiss Palermo goodbye! Oh, no!
