Intro: C#madd9 | C#madd9 | Aadd9 | F#m

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.

Chorus:
         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
     Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
     A           F#m        A            F#m F#m7 F#m
     Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white 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.

Chorus:

     Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
     A           F#m        A            F#m F#m7 F#m
     Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white 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.
   A
   Sing your song, song, now the camera’s on.
   F#m
   And you’re alive again…

   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.

   Je tuerais pour toi.
