Verse:
B minorBm        D MajorD
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem.
G+G              E minorEm
Lying to herself ’cause her liquor’s top shelf.
   B minorBm          D MajorD
It’s alarming, honestly, how charming she can be.
G+G            E minorEm
Fooling everyone telling how she’s having fun.

  B minorBm
  She says, “You don’t want to be like me.
  D MajorD
  Don’t want to see all the things I’ve seen.”
    G+G     E minorEm
  I’m dying, I’m dying.
  B minorBm
  She says, “You don’t want to get this way,
  D MajorD
  Famous and dumb at an early age.”
  G+G     E minorEm
  Lying, I’m lying.

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

Verse:
B minorBm       D MajorD
Carmen, Carmen, staying up till morning.
G+G          E minorEm
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean.
   B minorBm         D MajorD
It’s alarming, truly, how disarming you can be.
G+G           E minorEm
Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen.

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

Chorus:
     B minorBm
   The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
     G+G                E minorEm   F# minorF#m

     B minorBm
   She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond.
   G+G        E minorEm     F# minorF#m
   Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
  G+G      E minorEm    G+G       E minorEm
   Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white lightning.

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

B minorBm
  Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi,
  G+G
  Tu as besoin de moi,
E minorEm        F# minorF#m      B minorBm
  Tu as besoin de mon dans ta vie.
                B minorBm
  Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
   G+G
  Et je mourrais sans toi.
   E minorEm     F# minorF#m
  Je tuerais pour toi.

Chorus:
     B minorBm
   The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.

   Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white lightning.

B minorBm
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem.
G+G              E minorEm
Lying to herself ’cause her liquor’s top shelf.
