Good fortune

View chords used in this chart
Am G C
Threw my bad fortune of the top of a tall building I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's smile five in the morning looked into your eyes and I was really in love
In Chinatown hung over you showed me just what I could do
Talking about time travel and the meaning just what it was worth
Things I once thought unbelievable in my life have all taken place
When we walked through little Italy I saw my reflection come right of your face
I paint pictures to remember you're too beautiful to put into words
Like a gypsy you dance in circles all around me and all over the world
So I take my good fortune and I fantasize of our leaving
Like some modern-day gypsy landslide, like some modern day Bonnie and Clyde
On the run again
Am G C D
And I feel like some bird of paradise, my bad fortune slipping away
Am G C D F G
And I feel the innocence of a child, everybody's got something good to say
