Lyrics

(CN.C.)Bare foot,

she smiled,

leapt with out look ing,

and tum bled in to

the (Gm7)Seine.

The (F)wat er was (C)freez ing;

she (Bb)spent a month

(C#dim)sneez ing,

but (Dm)said she would (F)do it

a (Gm)gain.

(Gm7)Here’s to the (C7)ones

who (Dm)dream,

(Gm7)fool ish

as (C7)they

may (Fmaj7)seem.

(Gm7)Here’s to the (C7)hearts

that (Dm)ache;

(Gm7)here’s to the (C7)mess

we (Dm)make.

She cap tured a (C)feel ing:

(Bb)sky with no (C#dim7)ceil ing; the (Dm)sun set in (F)side

a (Gm)frame.

She (F)lived in her (C)liq uor, and (Bb)died with a (C#dim7)flick er; I’ll (Dm)al ways re (F)mem ber the (Gm)flame.

(Gm7)Here’s to the (C7)ones who (Dm)dream,

(Gm7)fool ish as (C7)they may (Fmaj7)seem.

(Gm7)Here’s to the (C7)hearts that (Dm)ache;

(Gm7)here’s to the (C7)mess we (F)make.

(C)She

(F)told

(C)me,

a bit of (A7)mad ness is (Bb)key

to (Dm)give us new (A7)col ors to (Bb)see.

Who knows (C)where it will (F)lead us?

And (C7)that’s why they (F)need us.

(D)So, (G)bring on the (D)reb els, the (C)rip ples from (D#dim)peb bles, the (Em)paint ers and (C#m7)po ets and (Am)plays.

And,

(Em)here’s to the (A7)fools who (Bm)dream,

(Em)cra zy as (A7)they may (Dmaj7)seem.

(Em)Here’s to the (A7)hearts that (Bm)break;

(Em)here’s to the (A7)mess

we (D)make.

(G)I

trace it all back to (Emaj7)then,

(G)her and the snow and the (Emaj7)Seine.

(C)Smil ing

through it, she (Cm)said

she’d do it a (CN.C.)gain.
