Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)
Verse 1:
E MajorE EMaj7Emaj7
Life, full of foul plays
E7E7
And rainy days
A augmentedA A minorAm
That we don't account for the optimist's downfall
G# minorG#m
The cigarette butt
F# minorF#m BB E MajorE
Was smoked and then stubbed on my heart
N.C. E MajorE EMaj7Emaj7
But still, a part of me won't let me see through this atrocity
E7E7 A augmentedA
Love, a push and a shove
A minorAm
A augmentedA kick in the nuts
E MajorE G# minorG#m
I'll come back despite the cuts
F# minorF#m
As for you, there are no buts
Chorus:
E MajorE
'Cause where we go
It's Midnight in Paris
E7E7
Drinking wine on the terrace
A augmentedA
Without a care it seems
F# minorF#m
And all of the stars they gleam
BB
A augmentedA little bit brighter
E MajorE
I dream of the next time we go
Where its Midnight in Paris
E7E7
Looking out from the Ferris wheel
A augmentedA
No, I didn't think love was real
F# minorF#m
But I guess I was wrong
G# minorG#m
But when I'm gone
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Will you still keep playing our song?
Verse 2:
E MajorE
To which we sang along
E7E7
And well to be honest
A augmentedA
It was quite out of tune
A minorAm
But no we weren't modest
G# minorG#m
We shouted the strongest
F# minorF#m E MajorE
So they could hear us on the moon
And oh that full moon
E7E7
That made us go wild
A augmentedA
But we were entitled to
A minorAm
We were young, we were me and you
G# minorG#m
Didn't know what life could do
F#m7F#m7 E MajorE
When it came down to going through the sticks and the stones
Chorus:
N.C. E MajorE
But where we went is it still Midnight in Paris?
E7E7
Drinking wine on the terrace
A augmentedA
Without a care does it seem?
F# minorF#m A augmentedA BB
And all of the stars do they gleam a little bit brighter?
E MajorE
And will there ever be a next
E MajorE
Midnight in Paris?
Or has the clock struck 13
A augmentedA
And is 12 just a daydream?
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m
And I could be wrong but now that I'm gone
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Do you still keep playing our song?
Bridge:
G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Cause me I do I still dream of you
BB
And the Tour Eiffel it suits us well
E MajorE
Don't you think so too?
When harmony was me and you
E7E7
When harmony was you and me
A* B* E MajorE
Or did we only say it figuratively?
Chorus: (in French)
E MajorE
Minuit à Paris
L'amour dans la pluie
E7E7 A augmentedA
La chaleur des bougies
F# minorF#m
La cire a fondu sur moi
BB
Le jour que tu m'as
E MajorE
Dis que c'était finis
E MajorE
Les Minuits à Paris
Quand les rideaux c'etais tant-pis
E7E7 A augmentedA
Et on même cassait les lits
F# minorF#m
Mais c'est plus comme ça
G# minorG#m
Mes mots maladroits
E minorEm A augmentedA
Ont effrayer
BB E MajorE
Ma jolie et mon amour à Paris
