[Verse 2]
Do you mCiss them
In your c'est la vie Amway
More than you'd missed me if yoFu'd stay
In the hemiFmsphere I asked you to reAbturn frGom?
[Bridge]
FOr maybe you can pull apCart your brain
Like if thGere's a Russian doll inside another Russian doll
You'd sDmeen it all in your c'est la vie way

So CI, I'll try and be a decent paAmrtner
Try to keep the teardrops off yoFur face
Be kind enough to reFmgard me

In your c'est la vie wAmay

C
CThe cBmeremAmony was alrGight
But like mFost ceremonies it
ELacked a gravity that DmI
Would have liCked
CThere were too mBmany cameras Amout
And the micrGophone gave out as she adjuFsted her gown
So the crEowd couldn't make out the fDmirst half of his busted vCows
C   Bm Am G   F   E   Dm   C
C   Bm Am G   F   E   Dm
[Outro Verse 2]
You said iCf you ever leave me I will BmdieAm  
I could have dGied it was so cheap
Oh come on faFther set us free
But our heEarts fell apart anyway
When we hDmeard her say c'est la vCie
C   Bm Am G   F
Oh yes our heEarts fall apart anyway
When we hDmeard her say c'est la vCie
