-nc-
My aunt used to live in Paris
-nc-
I remember, she used to come home and tell us
-nc-
stories about being abroad and,
-nc-
I remember that she told us she jumped in the river once,
-nc-
Barefoot.
Verse 1:
-nc-
She smiled, leapt, without looking
Gm7 C7
and tumbled into the Seine
F C Bb Bbm
The water was freezing, she spent a month sneezing
Dm7 F Gm7 C7
But said she would do it again
Chorus:
Gm7 C7 Dm7
Here's to the ones who dream
Gm7 C7 F
Foolish as they may seem
Gm7 C7 Dm7 Dbaug F
Here's to the hearts that ache
Gm7 C7 Dm7 C7
Here's to the mess we make
Verse 2:
F C
She captured a feeling
Bb Bbm
Sky with no ceiling
Dm7 F Gm7 C7
The sunset inside a frame
F C
She lived in her liquor
Bb Bbm
And died with a flicker
Dm7 F Gm7 C7
I'll always remember the flame
Chorus:
Gm7 C7 Dm7
Here's to the ones who dream
Gm7 C7 F
Foolish as they may seem
Gm7 C7 Dm7 Dbaug F
Here's to the hearts that ache
Gm7 C7 Dm7 F
Here's to the mess we make
Bridge:
C7
She told me
Dm7 A7 Bbmaj7
"A bit of madness is key
Dm7 A7 Bbmaj7
To give us new colors to see
Gm7 C7 F
Who knows where it will lead us?
F C7 F
And that's why they need us"
Verse 3:
~Key Change~
A E
So bring on the rebels
D Dm
The ripples from pebbles
Gbm A E7
The painters, and poets, and plays
Chorus:
Gbm B7 Dbm7
And here's to the fools who dream
Gbm B7 Emaj7
Crazy as they may seem
Gbm B7 Dbm7
Here's to the hearts that break
Gbm B7 Emaj7
Here's to the mess we make
Outro:
A Gbm A
I trace it all back to then
A Gbm A
Her, and the snow, and the Seine
D
Smiling through it
Dm A
She said she'd do it again.
