When it's concerning you
E/G# Gadd9 Gadd9 Aadd9
I guess i'm just afraid that if you ever leave

I'd be in a messed-up state of blue

And I'd be so lonely

Till I go right out of my mind

And who could ever resist your accent from Paris

It gets me every time
E/G# Gadd9 Gadd9 Aadd9
I betcha that you never knew that in my dreams

You are the star

The only bummer is that you always want to leave
