Intro: Bbmadd9 | Bbmadd9 | F#add9 | D#m

Bbm               C#
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem.
F#
Lying to herself
           D#m
‘Cause her liquor’s top shelf.
      Bbm                    C#
It’s alarming, honestly, how charming she can be.
F#                       D#m
Fooling everyone telling how she’s having fun.

   Bbm
   She says, “You don’t want to be like me.
   C#
   Don’t want to see all the things I’ve seen.”
       F#         D#m
   I’m dying, I’m dying.
   Bbm
   She says, “You don’t want to get this way,
   C#
   Famous and dumb at an early age.”
   F#         D#m
   Lying, I’m lying.

Chorus:
         Bbm
     The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
         F#
     She gives them butterflies,
              D#m     Fm
     Bats her cartoon eyes.
         Bbm
     She laughs like God,
     Her mind’s like a diamond.
     F#              D#m         Fm
     Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
   F#          D#m        F#
     Like lightning, ooh-ooh,
                D#m D#m7 D#m
     White lightning.

Carmen, Carmen, staying up till morning.
Only seventeen,
But she walks the streets so mean.
It’s alarming, truly, how disarming you can be.
Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen.

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

Chorus:
     The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
     She gives them butterflies,
     Bats her cartoon eyes.
     She laughs like God,
     Her mind’s like a diamond.
     Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
     Like lightning, ooh-ooh,
     White lightning.

   G#                           Bbm
   Baby’s all dressed up with nowhere to go.
   Fm                             F#
   That’s the little story of the girl you know.
     G#                       Bbm
   Relying on the kindness of strangers,
   F#
   Tying cherry knots,
   Smiling, doing party favours.
D#m                                         F#
   Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on.
   Sing your song, song, now the camera’s on.
D#m
   And you’re alive again…

Bbmadd9                             Bbm7  
   Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi,
   F#add9
   Tu as besoin de moi,
D#m                Fm            Bbmadd9
   Tu as besoin de mon dans ta vie.
                                Bbm7
   Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
      F#
   Et je mourrais sans toi.
      D#m          Fm
   Je tuerais pour toi.

Chorus:
     The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen.
     She gives them butterflies,
     Bats her cartoon eyes.
     She laughs like God,
     Her mind’s like a diamond.
     Audiotune lies. She’s still shining
     Like lightning, ooh-ooh, white lightning.
   F#          D#m        F#
     Like lightning, ooh-ooh,
                D#m D#m7 D#m
     White lightning.

Bbm
Darling, darling, doesn’t have a problem.
F#
Lying to herself
           D#m
‘Cause her liquor’s top shelf.
