Bm                G
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Em                G
Lying to herself cause her liquour's top shelf
Bm                      G
It's alarming honestly how charming she can be
Em                         A
Fooling everyone, telling how she's having fun


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
She says you don't want to be like me
G
Don't wanna see all the things i've seen
Em          G
I'm dying, i'm dying
Em
She says you don't want to get this way
G
Famous, and dumb, and no age
Em      A
My, i'm dying


[Chorus]
Bm
The boys, the girls, they all like carmen
G                             Em
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
Bm 
She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond
G                Em
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Bm         G     Em           A
Like lightning, light, like lightning


[Verse]
Bm                G
Carmen, carmen, staying up til morning
Em                     G
Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean
Bm                     G
It's alarming truly how disarming you can be
Em                        A
Eating soft ice cream, coney island queen


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
She says you don't want to be like me
G
Looking for fun, get me high for free
Em          G
I'm dying, i'm dying
Em        
She says you don't want to get this way
G
Street walking at night, and a star by day
Em           A
It's tiring, tiring


[Chorus]
Bm
The boys, the girls, they all like carmen
G                             Em
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
Bm 
She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond
G                Em
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Bm         G     Em           A
Like lightning, light, like lightning


[Bridge]
Bm                            G
Baby's all dressed up, with nowhere to go
Em                               G
That's the little story of the girl you know
Bm                             G
Relying on the kindness of strangers
Em                         G
Time and cherry marks while doing party favours
Em                 G                    Em
Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on
                       G
Sing your song, song, now, the camera's on
Em                 A
And you're alive again


[Interlude]
Bm              G
Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
Em   
Tu as besoin de moi
G
Tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie
Bm
Tu ne peux plus vivre sans moi
G
Et je mourrais sans toi
Em                          A
Je tuerais pour toi


[Chorus]
Bm
The boys, the girls, they all like carmen
G                             Em
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
Bm 
She laughs like god, her mind's like a diamond
G                Em
Buy her tonight, she's still shining
Bm         G     Em           A
Like lightning, light, like lightning

 
Bm         G     Em           A
Like lightning, light, like lightning

Bm                  G
Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem
Em                          A
Lying to herself cause her liquour's top shelf...
