C’est la vie
Dm C
1. C’est
la vie, have your leaves all turned to brown,
Bb C Dm
will
you scatter them around you, c’est la vie.
Dm C
Do you love ?
And then how am I to know,
Bb C Dm
if
you don’t let your love show for me, c’est la vie.
Gm Bb Dm Gm
Bb Dm
Oh, oh, c’est las vie ! Oh, oh, c’est la vie !
Gm Bb
A - A7 Dm
Who knows who cares for me, c’est la vie.
Dm C
2. In the night, do you light
a lover’s fire,
Bb C Dm
do
the ashes of desire for you remain.
Dm C
Like the sea,
there’s a love too deep to show,
Bb C Dm
took
a storm before my love flowed for you, c’est la vie.

3. Like a song, out of tune
and out of time,
Bb C Dm
all I
needed was a rhyme for you, c’est la vie.
Dm C
Do you give? Do you live from
day to day ?
Bb C Dm
Is there no song I can play
for you ? C’est la
vie.
Gm Bb
Dm Gm Bb Dm
Oh, oh, c’est las vie ! Oh, oh, c’est la vie !
Gm Bb A - A7 Dm
Who knows who cares for me, c’est la vie.
