Will you scatter them around you? 
Dmadd9 
C'est la vie. 
 
       Dmadd9 
Do you love? 
         Cadd9 
And then how am I to know 
       Bb6#11                  Cadd9 
If you don't let your love show for me? 
Dmadd9 
C'est la vie.

Verse
 
       Dmadd9 
In the night, 
       Cadd9 
Do you light a lover's fire? 
       Bb6#11       Cadd9              Dmadd9 
Do the ashes of desire for you remain? 
 
         Dmadd9 
Like the sea, 
          Cadd9 
There's a love too deep to show. 
       Bb6#11                   Cadd9 
Took a storm before my love flowed for you.

Like a song, 
       Cadd9 
Out of tune and out of time,

All I needed was a rhyme for you; 
Dmadd9 
C'est la vie. 
 
       Dmadd9 
Do you give? 
       Cadd9 
Do you live from day to day? 
         Bb6#11            Cadd9 
Is there no song I can play for you? 
Dmadd9 
C'est la vie.
