English version of "A quoi ca sert" by Francoise Hardy
Our two hearts are the Csame, they could turn out unGtrue
We don't want to feel AmpainD, yet maybe I love GyouEm  
Why even Ctry Dto go aGwayEm, why even Ctry Dto hide aBbway?D  
I've got nothing to Dshare, just this world my eyes Gsee
But if it's pain that AmfearD, pain lets no-one go GfreEme
Why even Ctry Dto steal GawaEmy, why even Amtry Dto run aBbway?D  
Or to Gstay in your ivory Ctower
                              D            Em(C)  Bb  
Grow in peace like some secret flower alone - alone
When the Gpain is a little Cless
                         D          Em(C) D  
We forget there's no happiness alone - alone
Share the Dstars in the sky, for they're all I can Ggive
Share these tears we must AmcryD, if we love, if we GliEmve
Why even Ctry Dto stay GaloneEm, why even Ctry Dto live aBbloneD?
G C D Em
 Em   C   Em   B2x
Share the Dstars in the sky for they're all I can Ggive
Share these tears we must AmcryD, if we love, if we GliEmve
Why even Ctry Dto stay GaloneEm, why even Ctry Dto live Bbalone, Dalone?
