Pierre chords by Dave Malloy

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD         F# minorF#m
It's dawned on me suddenly
    D MajorD     F# minorF#m
And for no obvious reason
    E minorEm    BB
That I can't go on
      E minorEm
Living as I am
   C majorC        G+G
The zest of life has vanished
     F#F#     B minorBm
Only the skeleton remains
       Em/GEm/G
Unexpectedly vile
       F#F#
I used to be better
       FF
I used to be better
       E minorEm
I used to be better
       F#F#
I used to be better
       FF
I used to be better
       E minorEm
I used to be better

ALL
E minorEm G+G
Oh, Pierre
  A minorAm        E minorEm
Our married feasting crank
     C majorC     G+G
Our most dear, most kind
   A minorAm    E minorEm
Most smart and eccentric
 C majorC              G+G
A augmentedA warm-hearted Russian of the old-school
  A minorAm       E minorEm
His purse is always empty
       BB   E minorEm
Because it's open to all
  A minorAm
Oh Pierre
   BB        E minorEm   C majorC
Just one of a hundred sad old men
BB               E minorEm
Living out their final days in Moscow

PIERRE
 D MajorD     F# minorF#m
I drink too much
   D MajorD             F# minorF#m
Right now, my friend fights and bleeds
            E minorEm
And I sit at home and read
      BB
Hours at a time
       E minorEm
Hours at my screen
E minorEm
Anything, anything
C majorC       G+G
Abandoned to distraction
  F#F#    B minorBm
In order to forget
       E minorEm
We waste our lives
       F#F# FF E minorEm
Drowning in wine...
E minorEm                  F#F# FF
I never thought that I'd end up like this
FF      E minorEm
I used to be better
    C majorC        G+G
And the women, they all pity me
      D MajorD
Because I'm married
   E MajorE   A minorAm
But not in love
BB       A minorAm
Frozen at the center

WOMEN
B minorBm    F#F#       B minorBm   F#F#
Il est charmant; il n'a pas de sexe
   B minorBm      F#F#  B minorBm
He is charming; he has no sex

ALL
E minorEm G+G
Oh, Pierre
  A minorAm        E minorEm
Our married feasting crank
     C majorC     G+G
Our most dear, most kind
   A minorAm    E minorEm
Most smart and eccentric
 C majorC              G+G
A augmentedA warm-hearted Russian of the old-school
  A minorAm       E minorEm
His purse is always empty
       BB   E minorEm
Because it's open to all
  A minorAm
Oh Pierre
   BB        E minorEm   C majorC
Just one of a hundred sad old men
BB               E minorEm
Living out their final days in Moscow

PIERRE
E MajorE          A minorAm
There's a ringing my head
      G+G       D MajorD
There's a sickness in the world
D MajorD       F# minorF#m
And everyone knows
  B minorBm            E MajorE
But pretends that they don't see
           A augmentedA
Oh, I'll sort it out later
         F# minorF#m
But later never comes

PIERRE & MEN
    D MajorD    A augmentedA
And how many men before
D MajorD      A augmentedA
Good Russian men
  G+G     F#F#      B minorBm
Believing in goodness and truth

PIERRE
A augmentedA       G+G
Entered that door
             D MajorD
With all their teeth and hair
   C#C#          F# minorF#m
And left it toothless and bald?
  F#7F#7    B minorBm
You empty and stupid
  F#7F#7    B minorBm
Contented fellows
  F#7F#7    B minorBm  F#7F#7    B minorBm
Satisfied with your place
   F#7F#7      B minorBm
I'm different from you
   F#7F#7      B minorBm
I'm different from you
  F#7F#7  B minorBm    F#7F#7 EmAdd9Emadd9 B minorBm
I still want to do something
  BB        E minorEm
Or do you struggle too?
 F#F#
I pity you
 FF
I pity me
 E minorEm
I pity you
 F#F#
I pity you
 FF
I pity me
 E minorEm
I pity you

ALL
E minorEm
Ahh...
