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
=== [BREAK TWO:] --- NOTE --- At this point in the song, the keyboard plays the chords, and the guitar just holds a D note until the outro. The keyboard could be replaced by another guitar playing the following chords: | Gadd9 | "" | Em7 | "" | C#m7b5 | "" | Bm7 | A | (x2) All together, these are the chords created: | Gadd9 | "" | Em7 | "" | C#m7(B5,B9) | ""
| Bm7 Aadd11 | (x2)
---
=== [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 === [Outro] | D | Em7 | Bm7 | End on D.
