Capo 3rd
[Intro]
B A B A B A B
[Verse]
Bm Em
I was in Sicily reading Henry Miller
Em Bm
You were in New York City you were getting thinner
Bm Em
I was in discos I was listening to Madonna
Em Bm
You were in sweat clothes looking like Jane Fonda
Bm Em
One day I called you 'cause I couldn't resist
Em Bm
It cost me eighty bucks don't think it was worth it
Bm Em
This is the last thing I expected to be
Em Bm
A broken hearted troubadour in sunny Sicily
[Interlude]
B A B A B A B
[Verse]
Bm Em
The night was raining and my window was stuck
Em Bm
My driver took the shore roads to avoid the heavy trucks
Bm Em
While he was telling me about the Mafia
Em Bm
I was thinking 'bout our wedding what the marriage done to you
Bm Em
Feeling so lonely my esteem so low
Em Bm
I find myself in Italy I'm singing in a disco
Bm Em
This is the last thing I wanted to be
Em Bm
A broken hearted troubadour in sunny Sicily
[Instrumental]
Em C D Em Em C D Em Em C D Em Em C D Em Em Em Em

B A B A B A B
[Verse]
Bm Em
Looking out my window I see the stars above
Em Bm
I'm closer to Tunisia than to anyone I love
Bm Em
I've seen the ruins of the Romans and the Emreeks
Em Bm
Compared to my own empire they really look so neat
Bm Em
Some say my songs are long and over complicated
Em Bm
But they're very personal I say they're underrated
Bm Em
This is the last thing I expected to be
Em Bm
A broken hearted troubadour in sunny Sicily
