Harlem - South Of France

      [Intro]
C#m A E (x2)

[Verse 1]
C#m
 Drivin' in the south of France
        A         E
And I'm blastin' Abba
C#m
 Moroccan guy askin me
  A       E
A sensual question
C#m
 Lookin' at the beach
C#m
It's a shame
            A
That it's a-rainin'
               E
I wish I could take a swim
C#m                                 A
 Instead I'm stuck in a cab with a stranger
                     E
Drank last night and I feel like shit

[Chorus 1]
E  Ab         C#m    A    E
 I hate every book I ever read
                     (ooo-ooooh)
E    Ab       C#m     A     E
Take back the words I never said
                     (ooo-ooooh)
E Ab        C#m     A       E
I need somewhere to rest my head
                    (ooo-ooooh)
E   Ab            C#m      A       E Ab C#m A
I'm lookin' for a big old, big old meeeeeeeed
                          (ooo-ooooh-OooOoo)

[Post Chorus]
A   E     Ab  C#m
ooo-ooooh-OooOoo  (x4)

[Verse 2]
C#m
Two years later I'm back in the same town
A                   E
This time I brought my girlfriend
C#m                                    A
 We fought at the beach and slept at a fish shop
A                  E
We told each other it was the end
C#m                                         A
 All the girls on the beach all topless and tan
A                  E                   C#m
Real pretty bodies but with faces like men
C#m
I wish I was different
C#m           A
More like the fall
                     E
But every time I try I realize I can't

[Chorus 2]
E  Ab     C#m      A        E
 I hear a party in room thirteen
                  (ooo-ooooh)
E      Ab          C#m  A      E
 I can hear all of them people scream
                       (ooo-ooooh)
E     Ab        C#m          A         E
 Ever wait four years at the fucked up drape
                            (ooo-ooooh)
E    Ab         C#m          A    E Ab C#m A
 I'm just gonna wait for the next daaaaaay
                            (ooo-ooooh)
[Post Chorus]
A   E     Ab  C#m
ooo-ooooh-OooOoo  (x4)

[Verse 3]
C#m
Next day I wake up I drink coffee
    Ab
And I go for a walk around town
C#m
 Buy some drugs off a street man
               Ab
Go back to the hotel, lie back down
C#m
 Start thinkin' there's a gas leak in my room
       Ab
I'm on drugs I'm freakin' out
C#m
 Do I call the deskman and tell him
   Ab
Or do I just go back to sleep?

[Chorus 1]
E  Ab         C#m    A    E
 I hate every book I ever read
                     (ooo-ooooh)
E    Ab       C#m     A     E
Take back the words I never said
                     (ooo-ooooh)
E Ab        C#m     A       E
I need somewhere to rest my head
                    (ooo-ooooh)
E   Ab            C#m      A       E Ab C#m A
I'm lookin' for a big old, big old meeeeeeeed
                          (ooo-ooooh-OooOoo)

[Outro]
A   E     Ab  C#m
