Ok so I decided to go with capo on first, to try to make the chords as
simple as possible. Almost succeeded. What makes it tricky is the
modulations in the song. Try these chords, see how they work for you.
Have fun.
Standard tuning
Capo on first fret!
INTRO

[Cadd9] [Am7] [F] [Dm7] [G]
VERSE1

PRE-CHORUS
[Am] They met each other in the park while [F]Jade was on a swing

And[Am] he[G/B] said
CHORUS
[C] "It ain't no [G/B]crime,[Am] it ain't no [F]crime
[C] Every[G/B]body gets a [Am]little bi[G]t [F]lonely somet[G]imes
[C] It ain't no [G/B]crime,[Am] it ain't no c[F]rime
[C] Everybody gets a [G]little bit [F]lonely sometimes"

Then he said, "[D]I was gonna be a painter, gonna [Bm7]paint my masterpiece
I [G]spent my whole life dreamin', now they're my [Em7]only memor[A]ies
And [D]I was gonna live in Paris, France, now my [Bm7]body's fallin' apart
I could be a[G] Pablo Picasso if de[Em7]lusion were an [A]art"
PRE-CHORUS
And [Bm]she said, "That sounds lovely,[G] Paris, France
[D] Just sayin' those words kinda[A] makes me wanna dance
[Bm] Do you[Asus2/C#] wanna dance?"
CHORUS
[D] It ain't n[Asus2/C#]o crime, [Bm] it ain't no c[G]rime

And [E]Cassie'd tell him all about her[C#m] awful luck with men, she'd say
[A] "Wish I could find a guy like you but they'll [F#m]never make you a[B]gain"
PRE-CHORUS
And [C#m]Jade would fall asleep on Ezra's l[Asus2]ap there in the park
[E] While Cassie'd still be talkin' a [B]long time after [C#m]dark[B/D#]
CHORUS
[E] Mmm[B/D#]mmmh,[C#m] mmmmm[A]mh

Just a [A]friend of his who said, "Ezra passed [F#m]away
And he [F#m]wanted me to bring this [G#m]letter to you to[A]day"
Well, it was[B] two tickets to [C#m]Paris
And a [A]note that read, [G#m]"Thank you for the [F#m]dance
[Amaj7] My dearest Cassie, [B]you were my Paris, Fr[A]ance"[B]
CHORUS
[E] It ain't no [B/D#]crime,[C#m] it ain't no [A]crime
