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
Cadd9 Am7 F Dm7 G
VERSE1
Cadd9 Am7
Ezra was an old man, he lived by the sea
F Dm7 G
Watching himself getting older, with no family
Cadd9 Am7
And Cassie was a pretty one, a bar tender by trade
F Dm7 G
She had a daughter with big green eyes, she called her Jade
PRE-CHORUS
Am F
They met each other in the park while Jade was on a swing
C G
On a bench underneath a tree, they talked about everything
Am F
And she said, "Sometimes I get so scared, but I don't know why"
C G
She reached for the old man's hand and she began to cry
Am G/B
And he said
CHORUS
C G/B Am F
"It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
C G/B Am G F G
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes
C G/B Am F
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
C G F
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes"
INTERLUDE
Cadd9 D
VERSE2
D Bm7
Then he said, "I was gonna be a painter, gonna paint my masterpiece
G Em7 A
I spent my whole life dreamin', now they're my only memories
D Bm7
And I was gonna live in Paris, France, now my body's fallin' apart
G Em7 A
I could be a Pablo Picasso if delusion were an art"
PRE-CHORUS
Bm G
And she said, "That sounds lovely, Paris, France
D A
Just sayin' those words kinda makes me wanna dance
Bm Asus2/C#
Do you wanna dance?"
CHORUS
D Asus2/C# Bm G
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
D Asus2/C# Bm A G A
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes

It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime

Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes

They'd meet there every Sunday in the park at noon

Ezra would get there early to buy Jade a red balloon

"Wish I could find a guy like you but they'll never make you again"
PRE-CHORUS
C#m Asus2
And Jade would fall asleep on Ezra's lap there in the park
E B C#m B/D#
While Cassie'd still be talkin' a long time after dark
CHORUS

Mmmmmmh, mmmmmmh
E B/D# C#m B A E
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes
BRIDGE
B C#m
One Sunday afternoon, no Ezra, no red balloon
A F#m
Just a friend of his who said, "Ezra passed away
F#m G#m A
And he wanted me to bring this letter to you today"
B C#m
Well, it was two tickets to Paris
A G#m F#m
And a note that read, "Thank you for the dance
Amaj7 B A B
My dearest Cassie, you were my Paris, France"
CHORUS

It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime

Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
