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.

[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!
