*** 2nd Verse:
(Chords are same as 1st Verse)
Like a song, Out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you, CÂ¥est la vie
Do you give, Do you live from day to day
Is there no song I can play for you, CÂ¥est la vie
*** Refrain (repeat)
*** Ending: Finish with a flashiolett at 12th B & E
