Intro: G  Am  F  Am (x2)

G  Am        F       Am      G    Am    F   Am   G   Am
      In the absence of your love
           F       Am       G     Am  F  Am
And in the absence of human touch
G        F
I have decided

C     Am               D7
I'm   throwing my arms around
F      E     Am
Around Paris because
C              E               F
only stone and steel accept my love

G  Am        F       Am              G   Am    F   Am
      In the absence of your smiling face
G Am            F        Am       G     Am  F  Am
I travelled all over the place
G            F
and I have decided

C     Am               D7
I'm   throwing my arms around
F      E     Am
Around Paris because
C              E               F
only stone and steel accept my love
C     Am               D7
I'm   throwing my arms around
F      E     Am
Around Paris because
C              E       G
only stone and steel... accept my love

C     Am               D7
I'm   throwing my arms around

Yes you made yourself very plain
