Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Darling, darling, [C]doesn't have a problem
[F]Lying to herself 'cause her [Dm]liquor's top shelf
It's a[Am]larming,
honestly how [C]charming she can be
[F]Fooling everyone, telling, [Dm]um, she's having fun
[Am]She says, "you don't want to like me
[C]Don't wanna see all the things I've seen"
I'm [F]dying, I'm [Dm]dying
[Am]She says, "you don't want to get this way
[C]Famous and dumb, at an early age
[F]Lying, I'm [Dm]lying

[Chorus 1]
The [Am]boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She [F]gives them butterflies,
bats her [Dm]cartoon [Em]eyes
She [Am]laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
[F]Buy her tonight, [Dm]she's still [Em]shining
[F]Like lightnin[Dm]g, oh,[F] like lightnin[Dm]g

[Verse 2]
[Am]Carmen, Carmen, [C]staying up 'til morning
[F]Only seventeen,
but she [Dm]walks the streets so mean
It's a[Am]larming,
truly, how dis[C]arming you can be
[F]Eating soft ice cream, [Dm]Coney Island queen
[Am]She says, "you don't want to like me
[C]Looking for fun, get me high for free
I'm [F]dying, I'm [Dm]dying"
[Am]She says, "you don't want to get this way
[C]Street walk at night, and a star by day"
It's [F]tiring, [Dm]tiring

[Chorus 2]
The [Am]boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She [F]gives them butterflies,
bats her [Dm]cartoon [Em]eyes
She [Am]laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
[F]Buy her tonight, [Dm]she's still [Em]shining
[F]Like lightnin[Dm]g, oh,[F] like lightnin[Dm]g

[Bridge 1]
[G]Baby's all dressed up with no[Am]where to go
[Em]That's the little story of the [F]girl you know
Re[G]lying on the kindness of [Am]strangers
[F]Tyin' cherry knots, smilin', doin' party favors
[Dm]Put your red dress on,
put your lipstick [F]on
Sing your song, song, now, the camera's on
[Dm]And you're alive again

[Interlude 1]
[Am]Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi
[F]Tu as besoin de moi
[Dm]Tu as besoin de moi [Em]dans ta vie
[Am]Tu ne peux vivre sans moi
Et je [F]mourrais sans toi
Je [Dm]tuerais pour [Em]toi

[Chorus 3]
The [Am]boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She [F]gives them butterflies,
bats her [Dm]cartoon [Em]eyes
She [Am]laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
[F]Buy her tonight, [Dm]she's still [Em]shining
[F]Like lightnin[Dm]g, oh,[F] like lightnin[Dm]g
[F]Like lightnin[Dm]g, oh,[F] like lightnin[Dm]g
