Intro: C#madd9C#madd9 | C#madd9C#madd9 | Aadd9Aadd9 | F# minorF#m

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

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

Chorus:
     C# minorC#m
   The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
     A augmentedA                F# minorF#m   AbmAbm
   She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes.
     C# minorC#m
   She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond.
   A augmentedA        F# minorF#m     AbmAbm
   Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
  A augmentedA      F# minorF#m    A augmentedA       F# minorF#m F#m7F#m7 F# minorF#m
   Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white lightning.

Carmen, Carmen, staying up till morning.
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean.
It’s alarming, truly, how disarming you can be.
Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen.

  She says, “You don’t want to be like me,
  Looking for fun, getting high for free.”
  I’m dying, I’m dying.
  She says, “You don’t want to get this way,
  Street walk at night and a star by day.”
  It’s tiring, tiring.

Chorus:
   The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
   She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes.
   She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond.
   Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
   Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white lightning.

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

C#madd9C#madd9               C#m7C#m7
  Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi,
  Aadd9Aadd9
  Tu as besoin de moi,
F# minorF#m        AbmAbm      C#madd9C#madd9
  Tu as besoin de mon dans ta vie.
                C#m7C#m7
  Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
   A augmentedA
  Et je mourrais sans toi.
   F# minorF#m     AbmAbm
  Je tuerais pour toi.

Chorus:
   The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
   She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes.
   She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond.
   Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
   Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white lightning.
  A augmentedA      F# minorF#m    A augmentedA       F# minorF#m F#m7F#m7 F# minorF#m
   Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white lightning.

C# minorC#m
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem.
A augmentedA              F# minorF#m
