 On the Gm7 chord she frets on and off the 2nd string at the 5th fret.
 Chords:
 Sometimes when you talk,  mm-hmm,
 And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close
 Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous
 I wish  that we could somehow freeze the frame
 But this isn't the silver-screen,  oh no,
 There's no pause, no  re-wind
 Notes:
 The chords follow the same picking pattern as for the the VERSEs.
 Chords:
Time  to find out where the story goes,
 Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Watching  ourselves au cinéma
Taking  our positions as the cameras roll,
 You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Watching  ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
 Chords:
 Now we cut to the girl,  alone
 She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
 And she's truly at home,
 Oh, her step has a whole new spring
 Big bright lights  of the city are shining for her
 There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
 'Though she thinks to look back,  back, she won't...
 There's no pause, no  re-wind; no pause, no  re-wind
 Chords:
Time  to find out where the story goes,
 Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Watching  ourselves au cinéma
Taking  our positions as the cameras roll,
 You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Watching  ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
 Notes:
 Finger-pick as for VERSE/CHORUS.
...Where  the story goes...
 ...With the curtains closed...
 Watching ourselves au cinéma...
Taking  our positions as the cameras roll,
 You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Watching  ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah

Sometimes when you [Em9]talk[Em7], mm-hmm,
And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it [Gm7]close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous

[Em9]Time[Em7] to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,

[Em9]Taki[Em7]ng our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
[Gm7]Watching ourselves au cinéma, [A7]cinéma-ah

Now we cut to the [Em9]girl[Em7], alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
And she's truly at [Gm7]home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
Big bright [Em9]lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
'Though she thinks to look [Gm7]back, back, she won't...
There's no [A7]pause, [Gm7]no re-[A7]wind; [Gm7]no  [A7]pause, [Gm7]no re-[A7]wind

[Em9]Time[Em7] to find out where the story goes,

You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,

You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
[Gm7]Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
