C'est la vie

         Dm
C'est la vie.
          C
Have your leaves all turned to brown?
         B           C
Will you scatter them around you?
Dm
C'est la vie.


       Dm
Do you love?
         C
And then how am I to know
       B                   C
If you don't let your love show for me?
Dm
C'est la vie.


Gm               Dm
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Gm               Dm
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
    Gm         E         A
Who knows, who cares for me?
         Dm
C'est la vie.


       Dm
In the night,
       C
Do you light a lover's fire?
       B        C              Dm
Do the ashes of desire for you remain?


         Dm
Like the sea,
          C 
There's a love too deep to show.
       B                   C
Took a storm before my love flowed for you.
Dm
C'est la vie.


       Dm
Like a song,
       C
Out of tune and out of time,
      B            C
All I needed was a rhyme for you;
Dm
C'est la vie.


       Dm
Do you give?
       C
Do you live from day to day?
         B             C
Is there no song I can play for you?
Dm
C'est la vie.
