[D]She′s the kind of beautiful that you [G]wish you never saw
[D]But another minute isn't [A]breaking any laws.
[Bm]The clock is ticking, but it [G]doesn′t matter 'cause I'm not [D]mo [A]ving.
[D]She looks at me and then I [G]open like a shell.
[D]She touches me and all my [A]plans go straight to hell.
[Bm]I′m fighting a war with something [G]bigger than myself and I′m [D]lo [A]sing.
Pa [Bm]lermo, Pa [A]lermo! I'm [G]caught in her [D]stare
and my [Em]heart shoots a [D]flare in the [G]sky.
And as the [Bm]flames in the [A]air blow, [G]I′m leaving I [D]swear
though I [Em]can't kiss Pa [A]lermo good [D]bye.
[D]I feel as though I drank a [G]thousand jugs of wine,
[D]Like the world could end to [A]night and I′d be fine,
[Bm]Like every star that's in the [G]Universe aligns, when I [D]hold [A]her.
[D]I shake it off and tell my [G]self to get a grip.
[D]This road I′m walking on I [A]can't afford to slip,
[Bm]But then the perfect [G]broken English leaves her lips, and it's [D]o [A]ver.
Pa [Bm]lermo, Pa [A]lermo! I'm [G]caught in her [D]stare
and my [Em]heart shoots a [D]flare in the [G]sky.
And as the [Bm]flames in the [A]air blow, [G]I′m leaving I [D]swear
though I [Em]can't kiss Pa [A]lermo good [D]bye.Can't kiss Palermo goodbye.
[Bm]Maybe it′s her [D]soft Sicilian skin. [G]Maybe it's the [D]Mediterranean.
[Em]Maybe I am [G]just being naive, [A]But she makes me [F#7]never want to leave.
Pa [Bm]lermo, Pa [A]lermo! I'm [G]caught in her [D]stare
and my [Em]heart shoots a [D]flare in the [G]sky.
And as the [Bm]flames in the [A]air blow, [G]I′m leaving I [D]swear
though I [Em]can't kiss Pa [A]lermo good [D]bye.
Pa [Bm]lermo, Pa [A]lermo! I'm [G]caught in her [D]stare
and my [Em]heart shoots a [D]flare in the [G]sky.
And as the [Bm]flames in the [A]air blow, [G]I′m leaving I [D]swear
though I [Em]can't kiss Pa [A]lermo good [D]bye.
I [Em]can't kiss Pa [A]lermo good [D]bye. Oh, no!
