Carmen by Lana Del Rey


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.


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.
Sing your song, song, now the camera’s on.
F#m
And you’re alive again…


C#madd9                             C#m7
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.
   F#m          G#m
Je tuerais pour toi.


 A           F#m        A              F#m F#m7 F#m
Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white lightning.


C#m
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem.
A                           F#m
Lying to herself ’cause her liquor’s top shelf.
