    Em G
    Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem.
    C Am
    Lying to herself 'cause her liquor's top shelf.

    Fooling everyone telling how she's having fun.

    It's alarming, truly, how disarming you can be.
    C Am
    Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen.

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Em
    She says, 'You don't want to be like me,
    G
    Looking for fun, getting high for free.'
    C Am
    I'm dying, I'm dying.
    Em

    Baby's all dressed up with nowhere to go.
    Bm C
    That's the little story of the girl you know.
    D Em
    Relying on the kindness of strangers,
    C
    Tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favours.
    Am C
    Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on.

    Sing your song, song, now the camera's on.


    Am
    And you're alive again.

    Fmadd9 Em7
    Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi,
    Cadd9
    Tu as besoin de moi,
    Am Bm Fmadd9
    Tu as besoin de mon dans ta vie.
    Em7
    Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
    C
    Et je mourrais sans toi.
    Am Bm
    Je tuerais pour toi.

    [Chorus]
    Em
    The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
    C Am Bm
    She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes.
    Em
    She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond.
