This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 2

(Chords are same as 1st Verse)

Like a song, Out of tune and out of time

All I needed was a rhyme for you, C¥est la vie

Do you give, Do you live from day to day

Is there no song I can play for you, C¥est la vie

Refrain

(repeat)

Ending: Finish with a flashiolett at 12th B & E
