Am                                                           G   
I'm tense and nervous - can't relax   
Am                                                           G   
Can't sleep -  bed's on fire   
Am

Oh______  ayayayay    
You start a conversation, you can't even finish it   
You're talking a lot - but you're not saying anything   
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed   
Say something once - why say it again?   
    
CHORUS   
    
Bm                        G   
Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là   
Bm                        G  
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là   
A   
Réalisant mon espoir   
G   
Je me lance vers la gloire   
A             G

Ayayayayayayayaya   
A                             G   
We are vain and we are blind   
A                                      G   
I hate people when they're not polite   
    
CHORUS
