Dm 
C'est la vie. 
          C 
Have your leaves all turned to brown? 
         Bb           C 
Will you scatter them around you? 
Dm 
C'est la vie. 
 
       Dm 
Do you love? 
         C 
And then how am I to know 
       Bb                  C 
If you don't let your love show for me? 
Dm 
C'est la vie. 
 
Chorus: 
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? 
       Bb       C              Dm 
Do the ashes of desire for you remain? 
 
         Dm 
Like the sea, 
          C  
There's a love too deep to show. 
       Bb                   C 
Took a storm before my love flowed for you. 
Dm 
C'est la vie.

+ Interlude 
  
       Dm 
Like a song, 
       C 
Out of tune and out of time, 
      Bb           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? 
         Bb 
Is there no song I can play for you? 
Dm 
C'est la vie.
