Carmen

 C#m               E
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem
 A                           F#m
Lying to herself ’cause her liquor’s top shelf
       C#m                     E
It’s alarming, honestly, how charming she can be
 A                        F#m
Fooling everyone telling how she’s having fun

  C#m
She says, “You don’t want to be like me
 E
Don’t want to see all the things I’ve seen"
A          F#m
I’m dying, I’m dying
  C#m
She says, “You don’t want to get this way
 E
Famous and dumb at an early age"
 A          F#m
Lying, I’m lying

   C#m
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
  A                               F#m    G#m
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
  C#m
She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond
 A              F#m         G#m
Buy her tonight she’s still shining
 A         F#m       A              F#m  F#m7  F#m
Like lightning, ooh-ooh, like lightning

 C#m              E
Carmen, Carmen, staying up till morning
A                        F#m
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
C#m                        E
It?s alarming, truly, how disarming you can be
A                     F#m
Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen

  C#m
She says, ?You don?t want to be like me
 E
Looking for fun, getting high for free
A               F#m
I'm dying, I'm dying
  C#m
She says, You don't want to get this way
   E
Street walk at night and a star by day
A             F#m
It's tiring, tiring 

     C#m

Like lightning, ooh-ooh, like lightning

 B                          C#m
Baby’s all dressed up with nowhere to go
  G#m                           A
That’s the little story of the girl you know
 B                        C#m
Relying on the kindness of strangers
 A
Tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favours
 F#m                                        A
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
Sing your song, song, now the camera’s on
F#m
And you’re alive again

 C#madd9                              C#m7
Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
 Aadd9
Tu as besoin de moi
 F#m               G#m          C#madd9
Tu as besoin de mon dans ta vie
                          C#m7
Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
  A
Et je mourrais sans toi
    F#m          G#m
Je tuerais pour toi
