My aunt used to live in Paris
I remember she used to come home
And she would tell us these stories about being abroad
And I remember she told us that she jumped
Into the river, once. Barefoot
D
She smiled
G Gm
Leapt, without looking
Bm7 Em7
And tumbled into the Seine
D A/C#
The water was freezing
G Gm
She spent a month sneezing
Bm7 Em7
But said she would do it again
Em7 A7 Bm7
Here's to the ones who dream
Em7 A7 D7M
Foolish, as they may seem
Em7 A7 Bm7 D/A
Here's to the hearts that ache
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
Here's to the mess we make
D A/C# G Gm
She captured a feeling, sky with no ceiling
Bm7 D/A Em7 A7
Sunset inside a frame
D A/C# G Gm
She lived in her liquor and died with a flicker
Bm7 D/A Em7 A7
I'll always remember the flame
Em7 A7 Bm7
Here's to the ones who dream
Em7 A7 D7M
Foolish, as they may seem
Em7 A7 Bm7 D/A
Here's to the hearts that ache
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
Here's to the mess we make
A7
She told me
Bm7 F#7 G7M
A bit of madness is key
Bm7 F#7 G7M
To give us new colors to see
Em7 A7 D7M
Who knows where it will lead us?
Em7 A7 D7M
And that's why they need us
F# C# B Bm
So bring on the rebels, the ripples from pebbles
D#m F#/C# G#m7 C#7
The painters, and poets, and plays
D#m7 G#7 A#m7
Here's to the fools who dream
D#m7 G#7 C#7M
Crazy, as they may seem
D#m7 G#7 A#m7
Here's to the hearts that break
D#m7 G#7 C#7M
Here's to the mess we make
F# D7M
I trace it all back...to then
F# D7M
Her and the snow and the Seine
B Bm
Smiling through it, she said she'd do it
F#
Again
