Chords

Standard

[Intro]

N.C.

My aunt used to live in Paris

N.C.

I remember, she used to come home and tell us

N.C.

stories about being abroad and,

N.C.

I remember that she told us she jumped in the river once,

N.C.


Barefoot


[Verse 1]

     N.C.

She smiled, leapt, without looking

           Gm          C7         

and tumbled into the Seine

     F          C            Bb            C

The water was freezing, she spent a month sneezing

    Dm             F         Gm   C7

but said she would do it, again.



[Chorus]

Gm          C7         Dm

Here's to the ones who dream,

Gm          C7        F

Foolish, as they may seem.

Gm           C7        Dm

Here's to the hearts that ache.

Gm           C7         Dm    C7   

Here's to the mess we make.



[Verse 2]

    F            C      Bb            C

She captured a feeling, sky with no ceiling,

Dm        F         Gm   C

Sunset inside a frame.

     F             C       Bb               C

She lived in her liquor and died with a flicker,

    Dm        F           Gm   C

I'll always remember the flame



[Chorus]

Gm           C7         Dm

Here's to the ones who dream,

Gm          C7       F

Foolish, as they may seem.

Gm            C7           Dm

Here's to the hearts that ache.

Gm            C7       Dm      

Here's to the mess we make.



[Bridge]

C7

She told me:

Dm          A7       Bb

 A bit of madness is key

Dm          A7         Bb

to give us to color to see.

Gm        C7             F

Who knows where it will lead us?

Gm         C7            F 

 And that's why they need us,



[Verse 3]

    A           E           D              Dm

So bring on the rebels, the ripples from pebbles

    Gbm           A         Bm7   E7

The painters, and poets, and plays



[Chorus]

Gbm           B7          E

Here's to the fools who dream,

Gbm       B7        E

Crazy, as they may seem.

Gbm           B7           E    

Here's to the hearts that break.

Gbm           B7       E   

Here's to the mess we make.



[Outro]

 A                   Gbm

I trace it all back...to that.

 A                        Gbm

Her, and the snow, and the Seine

  D                    Dm        

Smiling through it, she said she'd do it, 

  A

Again.
