[Intro]
N.C.
My aunt used to live in Paris
N.C.
I remember, she used to come home and tell us
N.C.
stories about being abroad and,
N.C.
I remember that she told us she jumped in the river once,
N.C.
Barefoot
[Verse 1]
N.C.
She smiled, leapt, without looking
Am D
and tumble into the Seine
G D C Cm
The water was freezing, she spent a month sneezing
Em G Am D
but said she would Do it, again.
[Chorus]
Am D Em
Here's to the ones who dream,
Am D G
Foolish, as they may seem.
Am D Em D# G
Here's to the hearts that ache.
Am D Em D
Here's to the mess we make.
[Verse 2]
G D C Cm
She captured a feeling, sky with no ceiling,
Em G Am D
Sunset inside a frame.
G D C Cm
She lived in her liquor and died with a flicker,
Em G Am D
I'll always remember the flame
[Chorus]
Am D Em
Here's to the ones who dream,
Am D G
Foolish, as they may seem.
Am D Em D#
Here's to the hearts that ache.
Am D G
Here's to the mess we make.
[Bridge]
D
She told me:
Em B C
A bit of madness is key
Em B C
to give us new colors to see.
Am D G
Who knows where it will lead us?
Am D G
And that's why they need us,
[Verse 3]
B F# E Em
So bring on the rebels, the ripples from pebbles
G#m B C#m F#
The painters, and poets, and plays
[Chorus]
G#m C# D#m
Here's to the fools who dream,
G#m C# F#
Crazy, as they may seem.
G#m C# D#m
Here's to the hearts that break.
G#m C# F#
Here's to the mess we make.
[Outro]
B G#
I trace it all back...to that.
B G#
Her, and the snow, and the Seine
E Em
Smiling through it, she said she'd Do it,
B
Again.
