INTRO
Gadd9/D
 
===
[VERSE ONE:]
 
D
Who's the boy you like the most?
Em7
Is he teasing you with underage?
Bm
Could he be waving from a tropical sunset?
D
Static silhouette somehow
Em7
Single in this bed someday
 
===
CHORUS
 
Bm                        D
Quiet till it falls, falls, falls; Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
A
Focus looking forward, the Colosseum
Bm7
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
G6                         C#m7b5
Rome, Rome, many tears are falling here
                                      D
I'll be driving; you'll look the other way
 
===
[VERSE TWO:]
 
D
That ain't easy to ignore
Em7
With your shutters open all the way
Bm                                 D
When it's candlelight I see I go insane
 
Distant silhouette somehow
Em7
We shared a cigarette somewhere
 
===
[CHORUS TWO:]
 
Bm                         Gadd9
Addict till it falls, falls, falls; Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
A
Focus looking forward, the Colosseum
Bm7
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
G6                         A9
Rome, Rome, many tears are falling here
 
I'll be driving; you'll look the other way
 
===
[BREAK:]
 
| D | (x4)
| D | Em7 | Bm7 | (x4)
 
===
[VERSE THREE:] (no bass)
 
Gadd9
Always and forevermore
A9
I call to say I'm on the way
D                              Gadd9
Two thousand years remain in a trash can
 
Let burn the cigarette somewhere
A9/C#
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls

BRIDGE
 
Gadd9      Em7               C#m7(B5,B9)
Bm7  A
I stand outside under broken leaves
  Gadd9               Em7
C#m7(B5,B9)    Bm7   Aadd11
I know I can't do without; the future's trying to wait
Gadd9             Em7
I never loved you; and if I loved you
C#m7(B5,B9)        Bm7    Aadd11
I wouldn't say I'm sorry, oh no
Gadd9      Em7               Bm/F#   F#/A#
I stand outside under broken leaves
 
===
[VERSE FOUR:]
 
Gadd9                    A9
Always and forever more; We're together dead and lonely
Bm7                          Gadd9
I thought I couldn't do this without you
                         A9
Single in this bed somewhere
 
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls
