[Verse 1]
E5 I remember it as
A5Plain as day
Although it C#5happened
In the dark of the night D5

The A5streets of Paris
And it was C#5cold
It was starting to rain D5
E5 And then I heard
A piercA5ing scream
And I rushedC#5 to
The scene of the criD5me
E5 But all I found was
The A5butchered remains
Of two girlsC#5 lay side by side D5

On my hands
